Ozone Water Treatment for Aquaculture
Ozone has seen wide use in aquaculture because it has a rapid reaction rate, produces few harmful reaction by-products in freshwater and oxygen is produced as a reaction end-product. Ozone is an extremely reactive oxidant and a very effective bactericide and viricide. Ozone can also be used to achieve water quality improvements by micro flocculating fine particulate matter (making particles that are easier to settle or filter) and oxidizing non biodegradable organic molecules (creating smaller and more biodegradable molecules), nitrite, and refractory organic molecules (reducing water color).

Unlike such agents as chlorine, or any of its derivatives, oxidation with ozone leaves no hard to handle or toxic residues requiring subsequent complex treatment. In practice, ozone immediately starts to attack the oxidizable components it comes into contact with. This property makes it a very powerful disinfectant. Because the process only leaves "oxygenated" products and oxygen, it is particularly well suited for applications such as hatchery water where the presence of undesirable elements after treatment could have grave consequences.
