Area of Science:

  • Aquatic animal health
  • Microbiology
  • Environmental science

Background:

  • Aquaculture is a growing industry facing challenges from pathogenic microorganisms.
  • Effective disinfection is crucial for disease prevention and biosecurity in aquaculture.
  • Salmonid farming, a major sector, requires specific disease management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the susceptibility of key aquaculture pathogens to various disinfectants.
  • To describe practical disinfection procedures for the aquaculture industry, particularly salmonid farming.
  • To outline disinfection protocols for disease outbreaks and waste management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on disinfectant efficacy.
  • Analysis of practical disinfection experiences from Norway and other major salmon-farming nations.
  • Description of protocols for routine disinfection, outbreak management, and waste treatment.

Main Results:

  • Identified varying susceptibilities of important aquaculture pathogens to different disinfectants.
  • Provided evidence-based disinfection procedures applicable to diverse aquaculture settings.
  • Detailed methods for treating wastewater and offal to minimize pathogen spread.

Conclusions:

  • Disinfectant selection and application are critical for controlling pathogens in aquaculture.
  • Standardized disinfection protocols enhance biosecurity and disease prevention in salmonid farming.
  • Comprehensive disinfection strategies are necessary for sustainable aquaculture operations.
