The benefits of direct application ozone in aquaculture systems

摘要

Appropriate levels of exposure have improved larval lobster and juvenile turbot growth and survival, water quality, and productivity. A "safe zone", however, must be identified to safeguard stock and worker safety.Lobster larvae (Homarus gammarus) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) juveniles exposed to direct application of ozone exhibited higher survival rates, reiterating the benefits of the treatment."This approach appears to be increasingly employed as a beneficial technology due to proven enhancement of hygiene and water quality, provided dosages or concentrations are appropriate to maintain animal health and welfare," according to the authors of areview paper entitled Direct application of ozone in aquaculture systems.
