Effective Water Disinfection Methods in Aquaculture
That’s why water disinfection isn’t just a technical step—it’s a defensive shield for the entire farm. Below are 5 popular and highly effective water disinfection methods widely used by farmers today. Each one has its own strengths, and whether you’re farming on a small or large scale, it’s important to know:
1. UV Light – Clean Disinfection Without Chemicals
Uses ultraviolet (UV) rays to kill bacteria and viruses in the water by destroying their reproductive abilities.
No chemicals involved → Safe for shrimp, fish, and the environment.
Best suited for small to medium-sized farms with moderate investment.
Clear and proven results.
2. Ozone – Strong Disinfection, Fast, Residue-Free
Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that destroys microorganisms almost instantly.
After treatment, ozone breaks down into oxygen—leaving no harmful residue.
Ideal for large-scale, closed-loop, or recirculating systems.
Delivers crystal-clear water and outstanding efficiency.
3. Chemicals (Chlorine, H₂O₂…) – Affordable and Easy but Use with Care
Advantages: low cost, fast action, easy to find.
Risks: overdosing or improper neutralization can poison shrimp or fish.
Tips for safe use:
Aerate the water well after disinfection
Test for residual chlorine
Neutralize with vitamin C or thiosulfate before stocking
4. Biological Filtration – A Long-Term Sustainable Solution
Uses biofilters (like Kadnes, Kaldes, or microbial substrates) to break down organic waste, nitrogen, and pathogens.
Can be combined with UV or ozone for even better results.
Ideal for RAS (recirculating aquaculture systems), hatcheries, and high-tech nurseries.
5. Nano Technology – Modern, Advanced, Extremely Effective
Applies nano-silver, nano-oxygen, or nano-TiO₂ to disinfect, detoxify, and increase dissolved oxygen.
Deep-acting, fast-working, and needs only small doses.
High initial investment → Best for high-tech farms, specialty species, or export-standard clean farming.
A FRIENDLY PIECE OF ADVICE FOR FARMERS:
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for every farm. Choose your disinfection method based on:
Farm size (small – medium – large)
Budget
Labor availability
Farming goals (hatchery, market-size, export, etc.)
Pick the right solution—safe, efficient, and affordable—to protect your shrimp and fish without breaking the bank!
Stable water quality = healthy animals, faster growth, successful seasons!
Farmers, remember to invest at the root: CLEAN WATER – STRONG PONDS – BUMPER HARVESTS!
