Aquatic Life Sciences Inc., the World Leader in Fish Health Products, announces a major new drug for ornamental fish growers. Ovaprim®, the world leading spawning agent, is now the first legally marketed Indexed drug for ornamental fish listed by the US FDA.
Jim Brackett DVM, President of Aquatic Life Sciences Inc. which includes Western Chemical & Syndel Laboratories, states that: “We are pleased that our Index request has been granted by the US FDA. Ovaprim® is a valuable product for ornamental fish growers. As the first legally marketed drug on the Index, growers will have improved access to this product which will greatly aid their spawning programs.” Dr. Brackett continues, “We would like to thank our partners at the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory (TAL) who have worked closely with us to support Indexing and to ensure that Ovaprim® is available for ornamental fish growers.”
Ovaprim® is packaged for use in liquid injectable form and will be available in the United States from Western Chemical as well as selected distributors. Western Chemical’s Director of Sales Ron Malnor adds that “The indexing of Ovaprim® fits with our overall strategy to increase our offerings of legal quality products for use by ornamental fish growers. Ovaprim® is an important addition to our line of products for Fish Health, Biosecurity, and Spawning”.
More Ovaprim® Information: Ovaprim® is Indexed for injection in ornamental finfish broodstock. Ovaprim® utilizes the fish’s own endocrine system to safely induce maturation and coordinate spawning dates. When used in the normal spawning cycle, Ovaprim® can synchronize and coordinate maturation in treated fish by inducing maturation without affecting viability or fecundity. Ovaprim® has been tested and proven effective in a wide range of ornamental fish species.
