Aquaculture cuts a broad cross section of farmed species from fin fish farming to the cultivating and harvest of bivalves. Like any farming operation, in order to maintain efficiency and profitability, it is imperative to maintain the health and quality of the farm stock. From hatchery, to water treatment, to harvest and transportation, Hydroxyl can help.
Aquaculture stock are sensitive to the quality of their environment throughout the farming cycle and are persistently under threat from such issues as parasites and disease. Waste and ammonia management, biofilm mitigation, and maintaining stable pH levels are also important factors to consider.
Farm Fishers know the best way to keep their catch in the freshest condition is to maintain their health and well being through a clean living environment. This, however, can be challenging due to the presence of excess waste, biofilms in pipes and tanks, or pathogens directly present in the water. This is where H2O2 Water and Hydroxyl can help.
NSF and EPA approved Hydroxyl is a fast acting, ecologically sustainable, stabilized peroxide product with a prolonged efficiency time. Biodegradable and non-toxic, Hydroxyl is highly effective in neutralizing harmful parasites, bacteria and pathogens, lowering ammonia and pH levels, and eliminating the presence of harmful biofilms that may exist within the water containment and distribution systems. Hydroxyl decomposes into simple water and oxygen leaving no lasting chemical footprint and no harmful byproducts or coproducts behind making it ideal especially for fin fishery applications.
Once introduced into the water system or environment, Hydroxyl immediately goes to work and offers several benefits:
Eliminates the build up of biofilms within containment tanks/water pipe network or recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). This ensures the water environment is as contaminant free as possible thereby reducing exposure to potential microbial/bacterial contaminants.
Improves the health of fish and bivalves and lowers the risk of death by reducing pathogenic entities from water. Hydroxyl is designed to specifically target bacteria and parasites, such as salmon mites.
Stabilizes water quality throughout the farming cycle. Hydroxyl can lower ammonia levels and, in turn, pH levels. By improving the stability of the water, fish and bivalves undergo less stress and produce less waste.
Reduces egg mortality and increases hatchling production. Several studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide based products are as or more effective at improving hatching rates through the reduction or elimination of aquatic fungi such as saprolegniasis. see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/
Improved Revenue Opportunities – The use of Hydroxyl in tanks and RAS can improve the health and overall quality fin fish farming and other aquaculture applications. This can translate into better quality fish and bivalves, less waste, and better market volumes.
