ABSTRACT
Alteration in the relative percentage of survival (RPS) rate of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to 5, 10 and 25�g ml-1 levamisole for 2 h against Yersinia ruckeri was investigated. The average weight of the 120 fish used in this study was 6.3g. Upon challenge with a virulent strain, the relative survival percentage of respectively 83.3 percent, 86.7 percent and 76.6 percent was recorded. The results suggest that the application of levamisole in fish farms could increase resistance to infection of fish and offer economic benefits.
