Ozone Technology in Aquaculture

Aquaculture is booming but with growth comes complexity. As recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) evolve to meet demand for sustainable seafood, managing water quality while minimizing disease and mortality becomes critical. Ozone technology in aquaculture offers a transformative solution, and Pinnacle Ozone Solutions is ready to lead the charge.

The Challenge: Water Quality & Pathogen Control in RAS

In RAS, water is reused continuously, making it a breeding ground for pathogens and organic waste. Fish are exposed repeatedly to microbial threats, and solid and dissolved wastes (from uneaten feed, feces, and biofilms) can compromise oxygen levels, pH, and overall system health. Traditional filtration methods aren’t enough, especially at high stock densities.

The Solution: Ozone as a Powerful Ally in Aquaculture

Ozone is a proven disinfectant that:

Eliminates bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoan pathogens
Oxidizes ammonia, nitrite, and dissolved organic compounds
Removes turbidity, off-odors (like geosmin and MIB), and color
Enhances water clarity and overall fish health

But it’s more than just disinfection, it’s transformation.

When correctly applied, ozone improves solids removal, reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS), and significantly lowers mortality linked to bacterial gill disease (BGD).

Science-Backed Performance

Studies show that:

25–39g ozone per kg feed can reduce nitrite by 82%, TSS by 35%, and color by 82%.
Ozonation before microscreen filters improves filtration efficiency.
Taste and odor compounds like geosmin are oxidized with high efficiency, improving product quality.

But ozone isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. Overdosing can harm fish, damage gills, or interfere with beneficial biofilters. That’s why precision control, expert system design, and real-time ozone monitoring are essential and that’s where Pinnacle Ozone delivers. With science-backed performance, advanced engineering, and industry leadership, Pinnacle Ozone is redefining ozone technology in aquaculture—delivering results that matter for sustainable seafood production.
