Aquaculture
Introduce
Aquaculture requires strict sanitation and disinfection procedures to maintain a healthy and efficient environment for aquatic life. Proper disinfection and cleaning practices are essential to prevent the spread of disease and ensure the overall health of aquatic species. This article provides a comprehensive guide to aquaculture disinfection and cleaning procedures.
Regular cleaning schedule
Develop a regular cleaning schedule for all equipment, tanks and facilities used in aquaculture. The schedule should include daily, weekly and monthly cleaning tasks to ensure all surfaces remain clean and free of organic matter and debris.
Usage Recommendations:
1.Do not pour disinfectant powder directly into aquatic ponds.
2.Calculate the volume of pond water and match the dosage of disinfectant powder accordingly. (General recommendation: 0.2 grams -1.5 grams of disinfectant powder per cubic meter of water).
3.Add water to the container first, then pour in the powder, stir thoroughly to prepare a solution.
4.Pour the prepared disinfectant solution into the pond.
Recommended Dosage:
1. Pond Disinfection: The general recommended dosage is 0.2 -1.5 g/m3.
2. Equipment Disinfection: Soak the equipment in a solution with a concentration of 0.5%, which is 5 grams per liter, for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
| Usage Scenarios | Application Time | Recommended Dosage (gram/m3 of water) |
| Before pond stocking | 1-2 days before stocking | 1.2g/m3 |
| Disease prevention after pond stocking | Every 10 days | 0.8-1.0 g/m3 |
| During disease outbreak | Once every 3 days | 0.8-1.2g/m3 |
| Treatment during fungal formation period | Once daily at the beginning, then repeat for 3 days | 1.5 g/m3 |
| Water purification | Every three days | 0.2-0.3g/m3 |
| Environmental, site, and equipment disinfection | 10 g/L, 300ml/m2 |
Water quality management
Maintain optimal water quality through regular monitoring and treatment. This includes the use of filtration systems, aeration and removal of organic waste to prevent the build-up of harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Training and education
Provide training on proper disinfection and cleaning procedures to all personnel involved in aquaculture. Emphasis on the importance of hygiene and biosecurity in preventing disease outbreaks and maintaining a healthy environment for aquatic species.
Record Keeping
Keep detailed records of all disinfection and cleaning activities, including the type of disinfectant used, how it was used, and the frequency of cleaning. This information is valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of disinfection procedures and compliance with regulations.
