Aquaculture Disinfection

Aquaculture growth is driving production and creating increased challenges including disease management, food safety, pollution control, and cost efficiencies. Disease management is a key challenge when aqua ponds have high levels of fecal matter, decomposing feed material, and ultimately high bacteria and fungal loads. Disease-causing organisms rapidly develop in such conditions. Management of the organic matter, oxygen, and ammonia concentrations are a key activity of pond management, and the tools to manage these aspects include probiotics and specialized disinfectants including Roxycide™. Effective and correct water disinfection can reduce the incidence of fish, shrimps and crabs, and other aquaculture products, as well as the use of drugs, and can reduce the cost of some aquaculture. Roxycide is a concentrated disinfectant powder that can be mixed with water, to form a powerful disinfecting solution with efficacy against fish viruses, bacteria, fungi, and molds.

FAQs about Aquaculture Disinfectant

How do we disinfect our aquaculture facilities?

Aquatic disinfectant: refers to the use of chemicals or other methods to eliminate most of the microorganisms and reduce the number of common pathogenic bacteria to a safe level.

1. Several different disinfectants need to be used alternately to avoid drug resistance;

2. Need to enhance the effect of disinfectant: the synergy of disinfectant is achieved based on the synergy of the mechanism of different chemicals on microorganisms

3. When to use the disinfectant: It should be used on a sunny day, and the aerator should be turned on after use to avoid the occurrence of fish floating heads due to hypoxia after medication

4. The importance of the water environment, otherwise the bacteria will increase after a few days after disinfection. Repeat this and continue to increase the amount of disinfectant and fall into a vicious circle

Which chemical is used to clean the water tank?

The commonly used disinfectants for fish ponds include bleaching powder, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, trichloroisocyanuric acid and chlorine dioxide. It can be disinfected with quicklime slurry or bleaching powder alone, or mixed together to disinfect. You can also use salt, sprinkle and soak the whole fish pond with potassium permanganate solution or quicklime water, then rinse it with tap water and expose it to the sun for several hours. Then rinse it with tap water carefully.

How are ponds and tanks disinfected?

The chlorine content in the bleaching powder is relatively high, and the chlorine element chemically reacts with water and produces a variety of chemical substances such as hypochlorous acid. Then the oxygen released by these chemicals has a very obvious bactericidal effect. In addition, before using bleaching powder, the amount of bleaching powder should be controlled according to the area of the pond, and the bleaching powder should be evenly sprayed into the pond. It should be noted that the bleaching powder is also harmful to the human body, so pay attention to the protection work when splashing the bleaching powder.
