AQUACULTURE WATER TREATMENT FOR FISH AND SEAFOOD
Aquaculture Water Treatment is essential for maintaining fish and shrimp health, preventing disease outbreaks, and ensuring seafood safety. Using Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) solutions like CDD 5000, CHLORITAB, and CHLORONE, aquaculture businesses can eliminate harmful pathogens, control biofilm formation, and enhance water quality without harmful byproducts.
Chlorine dioxide is very different from elementary chlorine, both in its chemical structure as well as in its behavior. Chlorine Dioxide is revolutionizing the aquaculture industry by providing a safe and effective solution for fish and shrimp farming, seafood processing, and disease control.
APPLICATION OF ClO2 IN AQUACULTURE WATER TREATMENT
CDD 5000 / CHLORONE / CHLORITAB in Pond Preparation
CDD 5000 is widely used in pond preparation against conventional chlorination by Bleaching powder/Tropical Chloride of Lime.
Advantages of CDD 5000 in Aquaculture:
- No drop in pH. pH is maintained as it was of the water.
- No Increase in Hardness of water.
- No drop in Alkalinity of water.
- Additional chemical requirement (Lime or Sodium carbonate).
- Can control Vibiro count/colonies.
- Dechlorination/chemical neutralisation time 100% less at least as compared to chlorine.
- Labour requirement negligible.
For best practices, refer to the World Aquaculture Society Guidelines.
CHLORINE DIOXIDE FOR DISEASE PREVENTION IN FISH & SHRIMP FARMING
Chloritab for Disease Control
CHLORITAB With its innovative formulation can be used from 15 days age upto harvesting for disease control in pond. It does not affect the crop when used in a prescribed manner. It has various benefits on the pond water chemistry.
- Deactivates excess organic load.
- Reduces unwanted algal density.
- Reduces Vibrio Load.
- Deactivates bacteria, protozoa, fungi etc..in water.
- Reduces Hydrogen sulphide levels in water.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ClO2 IN AQUACULTURE WATER TREATMENT
Why use Chlorine Dioxide in aquaculture water treatment?
- Reduce Nitrite (NO2-) rapidly
- Get rid of odorous soil of animals in culture system
- Effect quickly and without toxic remnant
- Dissolved oxygen increasing
- Decrease the stress of fish in ponds and enhance the rate of feedstuff.
APPLICATION AREAS - AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY
Live Fish Transport & Holding Tanks
- Chlorine Dioxide prevents fish diseases during live transport.
- Maintains water quality in fish holding systems.
- Eliminates biofilm & pathogen buildup in transport water.
Fish Larval & Prawn Larval Rearing
- Effective disinfection for hatcheries.
- Improves survival rates of fish larvae.
- Maintains bio-secure environments for breeding.
Seafood Processing Facility Sanitation
- CIP (Clean-in-Place) Disinfection for processing units.
- Surface sanitation for cutting boards, conveyors, and equipment.
- Prevents cross-contamination in fish & shrimp processing.
HOW TO USE CHLORINE DIOXIDE FOR FISH AND SEAFOOD PROCESSING?
Recommended Dosage for ClO₂ in Aquaculture Water Treatment
- 1g CHLORITAB per 5L of water
- 5g CHLORITAB per 30L of water
- 10g CHLORITAB per 60L of water
- 20g CHLORITAB per 90L of water
