Praziquantel (PZQ) is registered for oral use against Benedenia seriolae infecting Seriola spp. in Japan, but its bitter taste causes poor palatability. Incorporating PZQ in a moist pellet may help mask the flavor to improve intake. Altering delivery, however, may influence efficacy. We assessed the minimum effective concentrations of PZQ in moist pellets delivered by intubation for the monogeneans Zeuxapta seriolae and B. seriolae infecting yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi in flow-through tanks.
