Gerald Basleer presents a ~6–7 minute Dutch version of his Interzoo 2022 talk on preventing and treating fish disease using improved feeding strategies and functional feeds. He explains that stressors (temperature, pH, ammonia, aggression, poor feeding) weaken fish and allow bacterial infections (e.g., columnaris, mycobacterial infections). He critiques large tablets/boluses as causing aggression and underfeeding of slow/bottom feeders and introduces BFF Food Better Tabs and Biovisfood FUCO — a functional granulate containing fucoidam (kelp/laminaria), Pediococcus probiotics and beta-glucan prebiotics — as interventions. Basleer cites a Tilapia study showing reduced damage/mortality with fucoidam, describes a lab trial with visible recovery between day 1 and day 12, and recommends a 14–20 day health cure with Biovisfood FUCO to help fish resist bacterial infections. He points viewers to his books and website for further detail.
