Sulfadimethoxine was given orally to milkfish at 100 mg per kg bw daily for 3 consecutive days. Then, the residue of the drug in flesh was determined with high performance liquid chromatography and confirmed with photodiode array detector. The detection limits of sulfadimethoxine in standard solution and milkfish flesh were 0.1 and 0.01 ppm, respectively. The peak residue level of 0.18 ppm appeared 24 h after withdrawing the drug and showed a decreasing gradient thereafter. No sulfadimethoxine (above 0.01 ppm) was detected in the fish flesh from 24th day to 30th day after withdrawing the drug from the fish.
