AB  - In Africa, antibiotic residue investigations in animal food have primarily been 
      focused on meat, neglecting farmed fish. This cross-sectional study conducted in 
      Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, aimed to assess sulphonamide and tetracycline residues 
      in farmed fish, comparing levels with Codex Alimentarius Commission's acceptable 
      daily intake (ADI) and maximum residue limits (MRLs). A total of 84 farmed fish 
      were sampled and analysed in the presence of tetracycline and sulphonamide 
      residues. All samples were positive for sulphonamide residues (100%; n = 84), and 
      2.4% (n = 2) were positive for tetracycline and consequently also positive for 
      both compounds. Tetracycline levels were below ADI and MRL, 28.5% (n = 24) 
      surpassed the ADI, and 6% (n = 5) of the samples exceeded the MRL for 
      sulphonamide. Regular monitoring of antibiotic residues in aquaculture products 
      is crucial to mitigate health risks and expanding assessments to include other 
      commonly used compounds is warranted.
