Information about drug residues and pharmacokinetic parameters in aquatic species is relatively sparse. In addition, it is
difficult to rapidly compare data between studies due to differences in experimental conditions, such as water temperatures
and salinity. To facilitate the study of aquatic species drug metabolism, we constructed a Fish Drug/Chemical Analysis Phish-Pharm
(FDA-PP) database. This database consists of more than 400 articles that include data from 90 species (64 genera) of fish.
Data fields include genus, species, water temperatures, the average animal weight, sample types analyzed, drug (or chemical)
name, dosage, route of administration, metabolites identified, method of analysis, protein binding, clearance, volume of distribution
in a central compartment (Vc) or volume of distribution at steady-state (Vd), and drug half-lives (t
1/2). Additional fields list the citation, authors, title, and Internet links. The document will be periodically updated, and
users are invited to submit additional data. Updates will be announced in future issues of
The AAPS Journal. This database will be a valuable resource to investigators of drug metabolism in aquatic species as well as government and
private organizations involved in the drug approval process for aquatic species.
