Rach, J.J., T.M. Schreier, and G.E. Howe.  1998.  Efficacy of hydrogen peroxide 
treatments to control and prevent Saprolegniasis infections on salmonid eggs.  Final 
report submitted to Division of Therapeutic Drugs for Food Animals, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (FDA).  April 21, 1998.  134 pp.

In comparison to the controls, hydrogen peroxide controlled or eliminated the spread of 
fungus to healthy eggs in most species tested.  Fungus was present on all untreated 
control eggs of the species tested, except for the northern pike eggs which were free of 
fungus on all eggs tested (including treatment groups).  Only the lake sturgeon had 
visible fungus present on treated eggs.  Treated eggs of all other species were free of 
fungus.  Hydrogen peroxide treatments of 1,000 and 3,000 mg/L increased hatch in all 
species in comparison to the control group, with the exception of the paddlefish eggs in 
the 3,000 mg/L group.  The highest percent hatch for all species was in the 1,000 mg/L 
treatment group except lake sturgeon where the highest hatch was in the 3,000 mg/L 
treatment group.
