How can the use of antibiotics in aquaculture potentially impact human health?
Antibiotics can cause fish to become resistant to diseases
Antibiotics can lead to a decrease in fish production
Antibiotics can result in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in fish and potentially in humans
Antibiotics have no impact on human health
The use of antibiotics in aquaculture can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in fish. When humans consume these fish, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria can potentially be transmitted to humans, making it more difficult to treat infections with antibiotics. Additionally, the overuse of antibiotics in aquaculture can contribute to the overall problem of antibiotic resistance, which is a major public health concern. Therefore, it is important to use antibiotics in aquaculture only when necessary and under the guidance of a veterinarian. Hence option 3 is the correct answer.
