Aquaculture is a growing andincreasinglyimportantindustryinmanypartsoftheworld,includingScotland, Chile, Norway, Greece
and Turkey. It helps to sustain economicgrowth in rural and coastal communitieswhich are often isolated from the moredeveloped and industrialised areas of thesecountries.
The modern aquaculture industry faces anumberofissues:
DiseaseHigh rates of water extraction and
increased reliance on recirculated watercan lead to poor water quality, resulting inincreased outbreaks of viral, bacterial andparasiticfishdiseaseswhichcandecimatefishstocks. Due to the intensive nature of fishfarming,fishstockisalsohighlysusceptibleto
infection fromnatural fishpopulations in thefeedwatertothefarm.
RegulationFishrearedandreleasedbackintothewild,
aswell as those endorsed by the regulatorybodies such as theUK’sMarineStewardshipCouncil,mustbedisease-free.
Water qualityTo minimise the chance of infection
and disease, the water used in fish farmsand hatcheries needs to be of a minimumquality. Ensuring this quality is not easy –chemical treatment isnotappropriateas itharmsthefishandcannotbereleased intoopenwaters.
Toensurewaterqualityandtobreaktheinfection cycle between fish farms and natu-ral fish populations, a disinfection system isneededtotreatwaterenteringandcirculating

The advantages of UV disinfection
Ultraviolet (UV) isideally suited for treatingincomingandrecirculatedwater in fish farms andhatcheries as it uses nochemicals and does notcreateby-productswhichwould harm the fishstock, or other aquaticlife, on discharge. Unlike

other treatment methods, UV also avoidsthe expense of complex monitoring sys-tems required for adding and removing
chemicals before the water reaches thefish. In addition, it does not alter the pHof the water. In fact, UV is now widely
regarded to be the most effective andeconomical disinfection technique for useinfishaquaculture.

Some considerationsWhen installing UV systems, operators
need to be awareofwhich viruses, bacteriaor parasites are posing a problem and sizethe UV systems accordingly. Hanovia usuallyrecommends a UV dose of between 120-150mJ/cm2,butthefinaldosealwaysdependsonanumberoffactors,includingwhetherthewaterissingle-passorrecirculated.
