Ozone in Aquaculture
With the increase in demand for seafood and the reduction of ocean fish stock Aquaculture is now a growth industry. Growing healthy fish stock requires waste matter removal and water treatment to provide a healthy environment for the stock. Ozone can be used to reduce toxicity allowing water to be recycled through the system in a closed loop thereby reducing the need for large amounts of fresh water being continuously added .
Fish farming involves culturing of fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. Fish hatcheries and fish farms play an ever increasing role in supplying the world's demand for fish. To effectively supply this demand, fish farms must practice intensive farming techniques where more and more fish are farmed in the same or smaller tank volumes. Of course, as the fish density grows so does the risk of infection by water-borne bacteria and viruses.
Because of these problems, some aquaculture operators frequently use strong antibiotic drugs to keep the fish alive (but many fish still die prematurely at rates of up to 30 percent) In some cases, these drugs have entered the environment. Additionally, the residual presence of these drugs in human food products has become controversial. However, most fish farming operations still use antibiotics, many of which considered to be serious problem to human health as well as for fish farming
Ozone with on site ozone generator is the ideal disinfectant for aquaculture because of its ability to kill bacteria and viruses without leaving any residue.
Ozone is an effective treatment that: * Oxidizes organic matter such as fish excrement. * Precipitates dissolved matter. * Allows the micro-flocculation of organic matter. * Destabilizes colloidal particles. * Disinfects the water. Moreover, any excess ozone decomposes to oxygen and thus poses no health risk for the fish or the people who subsequently consume them. For Aquaculture's critical application ozone is generated form onsite ozonator using oxygen as feed gas which is again generated by oxygen concentrator.
