Microbial activity assessment based on hydrogen peroxide decomposition rates
Fast, easy, reliable method offers great potential for all aquaculture systems There is a widespread need for cultivation-free methods to quantify the viability of microbial communities in aquatic environments. This demand also exists within the aquaculture industry, where rapid and reliable methods for measuring bacterial activity and bioavailable organic matter in water are increasingly required.
Health & Welfare
Linking water treatment practices and fish welfare
Quantification of fish behavior is complex and depends on the experimental setup and biomarkers applied. A simple method was tested to quantify locomotor behavior to evaluate the effects of simulated water treatment scenarios using peracetic acid.
Responsibility
Peracetic acid products expand sanitizing, organic water treatment options
Peracetic acid products, which have strong anti-microbial effects, can be used as sanitizers to control water quality in aquaculture systems.
Health & Welfare
Study tests disinfectant alternatives to formalin
Formalin use is a common fish parasite control, but the chemical’s potential work safety and ecological impacts are leading to a search for alternatives.
Responsibility
Hydrogen peroxide: Disinfectant for recirculating aquaculture systems
Hydrogen peroxide is a candidate for water treatment in aquaculture systems for it has antimicrobial effects and easily degrades to harmless byproducts.
