Performance Evaluation of Add Purifying Agent Disinfection on Land-based Aquaculture Farms

Chung Ming Chunh

Abstract :

Land-based aquaculture is primary based on intensive farming due to limited water and land resources. With the characteristic of high stocking density, it will also result in a huge amount of excretion wastes and sources of infectious diseases. The deteriorated water environment will generate water bacteria and virus, thus causing reduced production volume of fish and shrimps due to virus infection. Therefore, in this study the green product of water purification No. 1 disinfectant is added into the pool water of aquaculture farm for sterilization efficacy assessment test. This is for the investigation of the impacts of different doses of purifying agents on the elimination of corynebacterium under different conditions of aquaculture environments. The water purification No.1 purifying agent is compared with common purifying agent to understand the pros and cons of the latest generation of disinfectant. The experimental results indicate that the concentration of 0.3PPM will lead to the best sterilization performance. Another experiment is conducted with the control group of BKC80% purifying agent under the same conditions of temperature, salinity, and concentration, and the result proves that the sterilization performance of water purification No.1 purifying agent is better than the control group of BKC80%. Thus we know that the addition of No.1 purifying agent can lead to effective reduction of virus and enhanced production volume.
