This article provides efficacy and safety data of ceftiofur antibiotics against streptococcal infection in starry flounder. Ceftiofur, which is a veterinary antibiotics, is effective against fishery bacteria. Ceftiofur can be prescribed and sold by veterinarians. However, it is illegal in South Korea for fishery disease managers to prescribe and sell ceftiofur. Therefore, in order to utilize available antibiotics and prevent illegal use of veterinary antibiotics, it is necessary to perform research to determine the recommended effective dose and administration methods of antibiotics for fisheries. In this article, the appropriate concentration and injection method of antibiotics to treat starry flounder infected with S. parauberis PH0710 were provided. In addition, histopathological examination results were provided to confirm the effect of antibiotics on the host tissue. Accordingly, these data could be used as basic data for the application of ceftiofur antibiotics in disease management for fisheries.
