Application of Ozone in Aquaculture
Ozone (O3) is a highly effective disinfectant and can be used in aquaculture/fish production to replace chemical disinfectants containing chlorine and bromine. To achieve maximum production, the water entering the spawning pools must first be completely free of pollutants and harmful microorganisms that can affect fish stocks.
Due to its high oxidative capacity, fast reaction speed, and minimal side effects, ozone has garnered significant attention in the aquaculture industry. Since many pollutants in aquaculture water can be easily oxidized, ozone plays a crucial role in removing substances, reducing nitrite, and breaking down non*degradable organic molecules.
An ideal method for disinfecting fish farming pools is the use of ozone. Ozone has strong antibacterial and antiviral properties and, unlike other disinfectants, leaves no side effects. To reduce water wastage, water can be regenerated, and by creating suitable conditions in the pools, water consumption can be minimized. Ozone plays a vital role in preventing and eliminating aquatic diseases and also helps reduce the use of drugs and antibiotics.
By adding ozonated water to the pool water, vibrios, which are responsible for diseases in shrimp farming, are eradicated, resulting in healthy cultured shrimp. R.K.C Company, under the brand name "Rash Kian," produces environmental equipment, including ozone generators and industrial and domestic water treatment systems, under the license of General New Partner.
In countries such as Australia, France, Japan, and other developed nations, the use of ozone in the food and fisheries industries has been declared permissible.
Benefits of Using Ozone in Aquaculture:
* Improved water quality
* Helps in removing ammonia
* Increases fish growth rates
* Enhances dissolved oxygen in the water
* Safe for living organisms
* Increases ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential)
* Reduces fish diseases and cleans pool CIP
* Reduces diseases and eliminates chemicals and drugs
* Removes unpleasant fish odor in processing factories
* Can be used in closed systems instead of UV light
* Optimizes water usage in pools if water recirculation is applied
* Treats wastewater from processing units and reduces BOD and COD
* Replaces all other disinfectants with ozone
* Disinfects fillets, surfaces, and processing equipment from all pathogens
* Removes nitrites in closed*loop systems through oxidation
* Washes aquatic animals and extends their shelf life by reducing microbial load
* Uses ozone*containing ice to sterilize and cool aquatic animals
* Coagulates colloidal particles and separates them in biofilters
* Completely eliminates parasites, viruses, fungi, algae spores, and all microorganisms
* Sprays ozonated water on surfaces and equipment without using other chemicals/disinfectants
* Disinfects and treats water in aquaculture and reproduction pools (fish, shrimp, algae, leeches, etc.)
