Departamento de Química K1 Química analítica K1 Chemistry, Analytic AB Annual global aquaculture production has more than tripled within the past 20years, and by 2015, aquaculture is predicted to account for 40 % of total global seafoodproduction by weight. As production surges, aquaculture facilities increasingly rely onthe heavy input of formulated feeds, antibiotics, antifungals and agrochemicals, whichcould have potential impacts on public health [1].In particular, the risk of bacterial infections among aquacultured fish is high as aresult of the non-hygienic and stressful conditions present in aquaculture facilities,including high fish densities, high farm densities in coastal waters and lack ofappropriate barriers between farms. Therefore, heavy amounts of antibiotics, which killbacteria or inhibit their growth, are administered in fish feed for prophylactic (diseaseprevention) and therapeutic (disease treatment) purposes in aquaculture facilitiesworldwide [1]. However, the antibiotics can contribute to resistance among bacteria [2].Thus, it is necessary to develop analytical methods that can detect antibiotics with thegreatest sensitivity and selectivity possible.In this way, electroanalytical sensors provide an achievable opportunity toperform biomedical, environmental and industrial analyses away from a centralizedlaboratory. In particular, screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) can combine ease of use andportability with simple, inexpensive fabrication techniques. Although early SPEssensors focused on the determination of glucose in blood samples, since thenapplications have broadened to include the determination of other biomolecules,pesticides, metals, anions and potential pollutants [2-4].Thus, this work has been guided to the development of analytical proceduresbased on the use of SPEs for the detection of the above-mentioned antibiotics in watersamples LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3819 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3819 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos RD 24-nov-2024
