An immunochromatographic assay was developed to detect chloramphenicol (CAP) residues in aquaculture tissues. The limit of detection (LOD) was 10 ng g-1 for detecting CAP spiked in the aquaculture tissues. The results were confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and indicated that there was a good agreement between the two methods. The linear regression equation was y = 1.19x + 0.539 with R2 = 0.978. The assay time for test was less than 5 min and the method is suitable for rapid testing on-site.
