title: Approval of drugs and chemicals for use by the aquaculture industry.
abstract: Progress has been made by focusing on the actions required to resolve the important issues related to the use of chemicals and drugs in aquaculture. Consensus has been built regarding priority needs for drugs and some funding has been obtained that will help generate the data required for drug approvals; however, additional funds are needed to complete full approvals for each priority drug and pursue other priority aquaculture drugs. However, efforts have been initiated to resolve the crisis in aquaculture drugs.
