Fish pond aquaculture

Application of medium pressure lamps in aquaculture

Water quality directly affects the success of commercial aquaculture operators. Good water quality improves the ability to successfully hatch eggs, raise juveniles and create strong, healthy fish populations.

Ultraviolet (UV) water purification systems are used throughout the industry, especially in recirculating aquaculture systems. It is a closed water system that continuously filters and removes suspended solids and metabolites to keep the water clean and provide a healthy living environment for fish.

Using a Priest medium pressure water treatment system as part of the water purification process offers advantages over similar chemical based systems. UV light renders microorganisms non-recontaminating, even those that can become resistant to chemical inactivation.
Chemical methods can leave harmful by-products in the water and potentially expose populations to accidental overdose. The result of using a UV system is the provision of healthy water that provides an environment for hatching and nurturing healthy populations, including the potential for increased population densities, while reducing the risk of disease.
