It is therefore very important to determine the cause. As soon as the first signs of disease become noticeable IMMEDIATE action is required. In most cases people wait too long. This is a parasite from the group of dinoflagellates (a kind of algae). This means that copper is best suited for combatting oodinum effectively. The copper concentration in the water is vital for a successful treatment. Exactly 0.3 mg/l of copper are needed, which must then be checked using a suitable copper test.
