Inventors: Tierra, Michael Robert;
Assignee: NOvalek, Inc. (Hayward, CA)
Primary Examiner: Lilling; Herbert J.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Zimmerman; Harris
A composition and method is disclosed for suppressing infections and treating one or more injured or diseased aquatic vertebrate animals, by adding to the water containing the aquatic animal(s) a solution containing the extracted juice and fine particles of walnut husks or the combination of walnut husks and walnut leaves of the walnut trees of the genus Juglans, family Juglandaceae (also referred to herein as "Juglans blend"). Effective amounts of walnut husks or the combination of walnut husks and walnut leaves which inhibit or promote recovery from aquatic bacterial, fungal, protozoan, and dinoflagellate diseases on the surface of or in the skin of the animal or from wounds and abrasions, or to control or eliminate metazoan parasites, or to control or eliminate aquatic single-celled green algae are in the range from 0.035 grams to 0.085 grams of dried walnut husks or walnut husks and walnut leaves prepared as a blend, and added as a standard daily dose per 10 gallons of water until the treatment is completed, which is within several days to several weeks. These walnut husks and leaves come from species of the genus Juglans (species nigra, cinerea, and regia) that are presently grown across the United States and in other temperate regions of the world. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of treating a living injured or diseased aquatic animal which comprises adding to the water containing said animal, an aqueous mixture of walnut husks or a combination of walnut husks and walnut leaves in an amount effective to promote recovery of said animal.
2.
The method as set forth in claim 1 in which the aqueous solution by volume contains about 3.
75% to about 8.
84% of said walnut husks or a combination of walnut husks and walnut leaves.
3.
The method as set forth in claim 2 in which about one sixth fluid ounces of said aqueous solution mixture is added to about 5 to 10 gallons of water containing the said animal on a daily basis.
4.
The method as set forth in claim 3 in which said mixture is added twice a day.
Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns the use of a mixture of nut husks of walnut trees or a mixture of walnut husks and walnut leaves as a therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of aquatic vertebrate animals--more particularly, for the treatment of fishes, amphibians, and aquatic reptiles, and the reduction and elimination of single-celled aquatic algae, generally called aquatic green algae.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Diseases and injuries are not only detrimental to the physiological well being of live fishes and other aquatic vertebrate animals, but also can adversely affect the physical appearance of otherwise viable animals.
The prevention, control and treatment of diseases and injuries is particularly important for fishes and other aquatic vertebrate animals that are kept in artificial or confined environments such as in aquariums, bowls, tanks, troughs, or in ponds, such as in pet aquarium keeping, public aquariums, ornamental ponds, or in aquiculture ponds and other aquiculture enclosures, as well as in shipping containers for aquatic animals such as in water tanks and in barrier and breathing plastic bags.
Tens of millions of live aquatic vertebrate animals are transported annually around the world carrying the disease organisms and parasites of their origin, as well as sold in the United States to buyers keeping them alive
