Abstract There are many worries about the food safety of seafood contaminated with antibiotic residues. These residues can be potentially dangerous for public health owing to the causation of allergic reactions, toxic effects, and serious health problems. This study was planned to search the occurrence of chloramphenicol (CAP) and sulfonamide residue in sea bream and sea bass. A total of 82 fish samples were collected from 14 different sales points in Afyonkarahisar. The samples were analyzed for CAP and sulfonamide residues using the ELISA method. Results showed that up to 18.3% of the samples were contaminated with CAP. In the positive fish meat samples, the CAP residue concentrations ranged within 0.54–10.6 ng kg−1. The mean CAP residue concentration in positive samples was 4.25 ± 2.78 ng kg−1. No sulfonamide residue was detected from the samples. Despite the prohibition of CAP application in aquaculture, detectable CAP residues in fish meat samples indicate an illegal use of this antibiotic. Therefore, the results obtained in the study are negative signs for food safety. Official controls must be performed rigorously in accordance with the national residue monitoring plan especially for the illegal antibiotics. Keywords Antibiotic residue . Seafood . Food safety .

Introduction Using of antibiotics increases with increasing bacterial diseases in aquaculture. Most veterinary antibiotics are used in aquaculture and the usage varies depends on the country (Inglis 2000). At the same time, antibiotics are being applied as a nutritious to enhance productivity (Peyghan et al. 2012). In one aspect, chemical contaminants derived from industrial and agricultural activities are generated as inflow released into aquaculture waters. These contaminants tend to accumulate in aquatic animals (Lu et al. 2000). In another point of view, Responsible editor: Vedula VSS Sarma * Yağmur Nil Doğan [email protected]; [email protected] 1

excessive antibiotic use in aquaculture may cause high amounts of antibiotic residues in marine animals (Kemper 2008). Furthermore, some antibiotics have still been used illegally by aquaculture farmers as they are not aware of antibiotic ban (Conti et al. 2015). The presence of antibiotic residues in the edible fish tissues causes allergic and toxic effects. In addition, it causes changes of colonization in the human intestinal flora, the formation of drug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms, and the transfer of this r
