Wild Fishing involves capture of fish and other aquatic species from natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and ponds. Once caught, the harvest is placed in containment until the catch is complete and returned to shore. It is during this containment and transportation phase that Hydroxyl comes into play.
During the containment and transportation phase, wild caught species undergo a significant amount of stress due to handing and environmental changes such as salinity and temperature. For crustaceans, this stress results in a discharge of excrement and waste products that can pollute the transportation water, creating an unhealthy environment and potentially increasing the risk of contamination and disease. For Fish, the stresses of transport in holding tanks weakens their immune system and increases their risk of exposure to biofilms, pathogens and other diseases due to close confinement. In addition, fish health can also be affected by water quality issues such as higher ammonia and pH levels.
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 during transport. This, however, can be challenging due to the presence of excess waste, biofilms in pipes and tanks or pathogens present directly 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 pathogens, lowering ammonia and pH levels, and eliminating the presence of harmful biofilms that may ex exist within the water holding tank and distribution systems. Hydroxyl decomposes into simple water and oxygen with no lasting chemical footprint on water quality and no harmful byproducts or coproducts left behind making it ideal for fishery applications.
Once introduced into water system or environment, Hydroxyl immediately goes to work and offers several benefits:
Eliminates the build up of biofilms within the holding tanks and water pipe network ensuring the water hosting their catch is as contaminant free as possible thereby reducing exposure to potential microbial contaminants.
Significantly reduces the pathogenic entities from water and may enhance the removal of organic material and endotoxins. Hydroxyl is designed to specifically target pathogenic entities that can develop when catches are held in close proximity during transport. This means healthier fish and/or crustaceans for the end consumer and better market value for the fisher.
Stabilizes water quality during transport. Hydroxyl can lower ammonia levels and, in turn, pH levels, in water during transport. By improving the stability of the water in the holding tanks, fish and crustaceans undergo less stress leading to a healthier catch.
Improved Revenue Opportunities – The use of Hydroxyl in holding tanks can improve the health and overall quality of a catch during transport. This can translate into higher quality catches with less waste and better market volumes.
