Fish in near-zero exchange recirculation systems also tended to gasp or yawn at the surface of the water, and had higher rates of skeletal deformities and mortality than fish in more frequently-refreshed tanks.

High-exchange RAS with few side swimming trout.

Is chronic exposure to Nitrate Nitrogen a hidden danger to Trout in RAS?

Modest levels of nitrate nitrogen in the 75 to 100 mg/L range may be more harmful to aquaculture-raised rainbow trout than producers realize. A team of scientists at the Conservation Funds Freshwater Institute led by John Davidson documented deformities and significant behavioral changes in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) raised in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with nitrate nitrogen concentrations at levels less than one-tenth the recommended maximum nitrate nitrogen level of 1,000 mg/L. They believe the changes were spurred by chronic exposure to nitrate nitrogen.

The biggest surprise to us as we were trying to determine why the fish were behaving the way they were was the possibility of a connection to nitrate nitrogen, says Davidson. Because of the literature we had been used to reading, we didnt even consider nitrate nitrogen as a parameter of concern until I plotted it out and saw a very close correlation. Davidson and his team published their findings in Aquacultural Engineering last autumn. Health and Welfare Davidson notes that the conventional limit for nitrate nitrogen in aquaculture tank water for rainbow trout is based on an LC50 value, a concentration that kills half the population. But sublethal concentrations may be quietly stealing profits and creating unhealthy conditions. If fish are stressed based on a water quality parameter thats present, that could impact performance in other ways, like feed conversion or growth rate, he says. In tanks with low water exchange rates, high feed loading rates and high nitrate nitrogen concentrations, trout swam as much as twice as fast

Low-exchange RAS with increased number of side swimming trout.

If you see a problem in your system, dont disregard nitrate nitrogen as a possible cause, warns Davidson. Davidson and his colleagues almost did exactly that. They had designed a study comparing recirculating systems with various rates of water exchange. Where hydraulic retention time was longer and the feed loading rate was high, nitrate nitrogen and other water quality parameters grew more concentrated and the researchers observed fish swimming faster. Many of the fish swam on their

as their counterparts in high-exchange recirculating systems as fast as 49 cm/sec, well above the speed of the tanks current. Davidson suspects that sustained fast swimming can lead to higher oxygen demand, lactic acid buildup in muscle tissue, exhaustion, and even deformities that contribute to side-swimming behavior. As soon as you start seeing behavioral changes, youve got to start thinking about fish welfare, he adds. The aquaculture industry is working hard to stay ahead of activist groups who are beginning to set their sights on fish production after attacks on poultry, hog, dairy and beef production, Davidson notes understanding the appropriate levels of nitrate nitrogen and other parameters will be a vital step in maintaining fish welfare standards that can withstand outside scrutiny. Monitoring Nitrate Nitrogen Nitrate nitrogen levels can build up in RAS systems rapidly as fish excrete ammonia nitrogen and biofiltration systems convert the ammonia nitrogen to nitrate and then to nitrate nitrogen. Davidson and his team monitored nitrate nitrogen levels carefully using two standard lab testing protocols, as well as with the YSI Professional Plus handheld, multiparameter meter. He says instant readings from the handheld meter will be important for staying on top of nitrate nitrogen levels in commercial settings. Because nitrate nitrogen appears to be a much more critical water quality parameter than once thought, I think the Pro Plus with the nitrate probe could be an important monitoring tool for aquaculture system managers, particularly for those who operate RAS at low to near-zero water exchange rates at which nitrate nitrogen accumulates to relatively high levels, he says. The Pro Plus was easy to use and calibration of the nitrate probe was simple and straightforward. Grab sampling and conducting a lab nitrate nitrogen analysis can take a half-hour or more in his labs six-tank system, Davidson adds. Depending on how many tanks you have to do, that adds up, he says. With the Pro Plus, you can turn the meter on, do a quick calibration, and drop the probe in the tank water. Thats a pretty big time savings. In addition to its nitrate nitrogen measuring capabilities, the Pro Plus can be equipped with probes for a wide variety of other key water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), oxidation reduction potential (ORP), ammonium, chloride and temperature. With YSIs Quatro cable, four probes can be used at once for DO, temperature, conductivity/salinity, and any two ISEs pH, ORP, ammonium, nitrate or chloride. Davidson found that the Pro Plus nitrate nitrogen readings were quite close to lab test values no more than a 10 percent difference. Based on what we saw, it was within the appropriate range to make an educated decision on whether to reduce nitrate nitrogen levels in an aquaculture tank, he says.

OGSI leads the way in Onsite Oxygen Technology for Aquaculture

Oxygen Generating Systems Intl [OGSI] is the leading manufacturer of onsite oxygen generators. Using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, OGSI offers a complete line of oxygen generators and oxygen cylinder filling plants (CFPs). They currently have oxygen plants in over 70 countries worldwide, serving many diverse markets including: fish farming (aquaculture) and ozone water treatment. The OGSI Aquaculture System is specifically designed for aquaculture applications and is efficient and cost-effective. It enables fish farms to dissolve oxygen in any size tank. Farms are able to increase stocking densities. The fish are also healthier and have better taste when raised in an oxygen rich environment. The investment in an oxygen system is typically recovered within two years meaning that the return on investment (ROI) is greater than 50 percent per year. How it Works A side stream of water from the raceway, pond or tank is pumped at elevated pressure through a venturi nozzle, where oxygen is injected. The water becomes saturated with oxygen and is then distributed through high velocity mixing nozzles along the bottom surface of the raceway, pond or tank. Oxygen flow rates can either be manually regulated or automatically controlled using a dissolved oxygen (DO) analyzer and probe. By closing the loop with a signal that is fed back from the DO meter, the oxygen system can be turned on and off automatically, as needed. Systems Available The OG-15 Oxygen Generator is a small and convenient turnkey oxygen generating system. It is safe, dependable and easy to run. Its maintenance-free operation provides a quick way to meet your immediate oxygen needs. Larger models are available (Oxygen Generators) to suit the requirements of larger fish and hatcheries and ponds. The larger models range from 25 SCFH to 5000 SCFH (5tpd). OGSI has a great deal of experience supplying oxygen to aquaculture facilities that raise a variety of fish species, among them trout, striped bass, tilapia and shrimp. The application engineers at OGSI can assess your facilitys operating needs and design an oxygen system to meet your specific needs. If oxygen is needed in cylinders for use in transportation or remote handling cylinder filling plants are available. These are systems that will immediately eliminate the high cost of delivered oxygen. No more spending valuable time changing and returning heavy oxygen cylinders. The CFPs can automatically refill your oxygen cylinders for 24/7 availability and relieve you of your dependence on delivered oxygen. OGSI offers complete CFPs, with capacities up to 500 cylinders per day. You can reduce your live haul expenses with these systems by filling your own cylinders. Benefits of Installing an OGSI Oxygen Generator or Cylinder Filling Plant: - Increase stock density by maintaining a higher level of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) - Produce larger quantities of high quality fish - Increase reproduction rates - Ensure the flavor of fish by providing a clean environment - Prevent ice from forming during winter months - Increase the oxygen content over a typical air-fed aerating system - Ensure uniform DO levels throughout tanks and ponds - Provide feed gas to an existing ozone generator for disinfection

Are you taking advantage of a new heater technology to improve your business and keep your customers koi and other fish alive this winter?
Until now aquaculture immersion heaters have used an internal resistance wire as the heat source. Now there are electric immersion heaters available using PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) ceramic chips as the heat source. Heaters using PTC offer advantages over traditional resistance heaters including increased safety, greater reliability, and a lower operating cost. Electric heaters made with resistance wire: Traditional immersion heaters use resistance wire as the source of heat. Resistance wire is commonly used in toasters and electric water heaters and is usually a nickel/chromium alloy. It will typically heat to around 900F. When an electric immersion heater using resistance wire operates in air or becomes covered with solid buildup (such as fish waste), the heat is not able to dissipate quickly enough. This results in a rapid increase in operating temperature. Elevated temperatures shorten the heater life and can damage surrounding plastic materials including pond liners. To protect these materials from high-temperature damage, electric immersion heaters often include a built-in heater over-temperature cutoff device called a protector. The protector senses the surface temperature of the heater and trips if it gets too hot. This shuts the heater off. While the protector is a necessary safety device, a heater that is shut off may threaten the pond or tank inhabitants.

Example of resistance wire found in traditional resistance-style electric immersion heaters (which is no longer needed in PTC heaters)

As Don Campbell, First Ascent Fish Farm, explains, this is one of his primary concerns with his current equipment. We train our customers in both programming and care of the heater/controller. However, too frequently the folks we train are not the folks cleaning the tanks between deliveries and the heater is not unplugged, leading to a blown fuse [protector]. After a protector has tripped it must be replaced. If there is no protector onsite, the tank or pond may suffer a loss of heat. For a supplier or keeper of live fish, this can result in increased mortality. Electric heaters made with PTC chips: Electric heaters using PTC chips do not use resistance wire as a source of heat. Instead, they use PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) chips. When the chip temperature increases, its electrical resistance also increases, resulting in decreased heat output. As the PTC chips heat up, they will reach a designed temperature at which they cannot get any hotter. Thus, PTC chips have a predetermined temperature limit. No protectors to replace. Thermal protectors are not necessary with PTC electric immersion heaters. Their self-limiting capability offers the safety of a protector built directly into the heater core. This eliminates downtime caused by a tripped protector and the need for replacements.

PTC heaters will not damage tanks or liners. PTC immersion heaters have a maximum surface temperature of 518F when in air and manufactured with -inch spacers so they will not damage tank or pond liner materials. They will not damage tanks made from polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass, polypropylene (PP), CPVC or PVC as well as other materials (see chart). PTC heaters can operate in air or with solids buildup. A resistance heater will overheat if operated in air, covered by scale or solid waste. This elevated temperature can shorten the life of the heater by several months. With PTC heaters the potential for burnout is eliminated, thereby increasing service life. (Removing the material from the surface of the PTC heater or putting it back in water will raise the heat output accordingly.) According to Campbell, the advantages offered by PTC heaters, could pay for themselves in both labor savings and fewer mortalities in less than one year.

The commercial use of TAERATION Air-Injection technology in commercial super intensive closed recirculating aquaculture systems
Introduction Viral diseases outbreaks in the aquaculture industry and the negative impact in the environment due to massive water exchange practices of the traditional pond farming are two of the main problems the aquaculture industry is facing now. The use of closed super intensive commercial RAS has become an alternative that can alleviate these problems. In managing commercial closed RAS system for shrimp and tilapia during the last 10 year, I have been facing one common problem how to keep optimal-high levels of dissolve oxygen during the whole production cycle? Stocking at high densities and feeding rates create stress on the system which immediate manifestation

is on the oxygen concentration in the water. In looking at different than traditional alternatives (different than traditional blowers, paddle-wheels, air-lifts, diffusing hoses) I started working back in 2007 with Advanced Industrial Aeration with the commercial use of TAERATION a non-venturi patent air injection technology that allows transfer oxygen at higher rates using up to 40% less energy than more common O2 diffusing systems. The newly patented non-venturi aeration nozzle uses a centrifugal pump to draw water from one end of the pond and injects oxygen at the other end through the TAERATION nozzle. The system simultaneously aerates, degasses and mixes with one energy source. Specifically, there is an ultra-fine micro bubble with a transfer rate of 2.8% per foot of depth which is naturally aspirated delivering an air to water ratio of 3/1. This is an entirely new method of aeration that does not require air blowers. Our Patented Technology transfers so much dissolved Oxygen that in a clean water test we reach maximum saturation in the time it takes to flow only half of the containment. Our process is simple; we draw from one end and inject the water in the other end through our patented Taeration Nozzle. This exclusive Push-Pull system allows for complete circulation and De-Stratification of your containment regardless of shape or depth. Drawing in only ambient air we are capable of air/water ratios as high as 10 to 1 and are achieving this using a fraction of the Horse Power used by all other methods.

Aeration With the highest transfer rate per ft. of depth (2.8%) our technology transfers more of what the EPA defines as a "micro-bubble" than any other method available today. In fact in a clean water test we reach maximum saturation of the entire containment after re-circulating only half of the containment through our Taeration nozzle regardless of its shape or depth. More O2 results in higher densities and faster growth rates. Mixing and Circulation Drawing water from one end and injecting it back into the opposite end ensures proper circulation and disbursement of the O2 throughout. This creates great water flow or tank velocity, but also keeps the floc in suspension eliminating problematic ammonia pocket. De-Gassing Our Taeration technology injects air and water at a ratio averaging of 3 to 1. For each gallon of water that flows through the nozzle, 3 gallons of air are entrained and injected out the exit cylinder. Often overlooked and rarely tested for this high ratio de-gasses CO2 and other noxious gasses from the water. Commercial Experience in Intensive Shrimp Broodstock rearing system. In the first trial in a shrimp Broodstock rearing commercial facility, Litopennaeus vannamei were stocked at an initial density of 0.5 kg/ m into concrete ponds with volumes measuring 240m. Trial one ran from May 27, 2008 through July 17, 2008. Trial two ran from June 29, 2008 through November 25, 2008. Trial three ran from August 12, 2008 through December 21, 2008. Final densities reached 1.51.8kg/m upon harvesting. The animals in all trials were fed based on the average weight of the shrimp. For example, if the average weight was 5.0g, they were fed (5g)(5%)(population). When the average weight was 20g, they were fed 3% of that weight until at 25g or more, the percentage bottomed

out at 2.0%. Parameters measured on a weekly basis included average weight of shrimp (g) in order to calculate average growth per week, total ammonia (TAN), nitrite, nitrate, and alkalinity using Hach reagents and the Hach DR/890 colorimeter. Parameters measured on a daily basis included dissolved oxygen (mg/L) and temperature (C) using the YSI 550A. Density (kg/m) was calculated on a weekly basis. TAERATION technology provides a higher than acceptable flow through the entire pond. As noted above, dissolved oxygen levels were never reported below 6.2 mg/L. pH ranges were 7.7-8.3 in all three trials. Total ammonia (TAN) did not exceed 0.7 mg/L in any trial; nitrite did not exceed 2.42 mg/L in any trial. The range for alkalinity in all trials was 124-200 mg/L. Trials 1, 2 and 3 respectively showed survival rates of 87%, 88% and 93% and final harvest size of 25g, 42g and 35g. The feed conversion ratio for all trials averaged 1.81. Commercial experience in shrimp super intensive closed RAS. An 87-day study was conducted in two newly constructed EPDMlined raceways (each RW approximately 34 m long x 3 m wide). RWs were each filled with a mixture of seawater (50 m3) and biofloc-rich water (30 m3). To provide aeration, mixing, and circulation, a total of 14 non-Venturi TAERATION nozzles were positioned parallel to the direction of flow along the bottom of each RWs wall.

In addition, one nozzle was used to power a home-made foam fractionator to enable removal of particulate and dissolved organic matter. Two pumps (total of 5 hp) were used to power the 15 nozzles in each RW. Shrimp (8.5 g) were stocked at 270/m3 (213/ m2). Shrimp were fed a 35% CP diet. Freshwater was added (0.1 m3/d) to maintain salinity, and RWs were maintained with no water exchange. Each RW was equipped with a DO monitoring system (YSI 5200). Water temperature, salinity, DO, and pH were monitored twice/d. TAN, NO2-N, NO3-N, alkalinity, SS, turbidity, TSS, VSS, and cBOD5 were monitored at least once a week. TAN and NO2-N remained very low (>0.5 mg/L) throughout the study. Mean temperature, salinity, pH, and DO were: 30 C, 30.8 psu, 7.0, and 5.8 mg/L, respectively. Atmospheric air was used to maintain high DO throughout the study, concluding with 90% survival and an average yield of 6.4 kg/m3. Shrimp growth averaged 1.4 g/wk with mean final weights of 26.2 g. Commercial experience in tilapia super intensive closed RAS. We are producing market size tilapia at commercial level in intensive closed biofloc RAS replacing all the traditional air devices (blowers & diffusing hoses) with the TAERATION technology. We are stocking 6,500 tilapia 30 gr juveniles in 140 m3 circular tanks (12.4 m ) and keep them during the grow out cycle until harvest size at 700 gr. This is a zero water exchange biofloc system that only recovers evaporation loses. The TAERATION commercial system is producing 30 kg/m3 of 700 gr tilapia (4.5 MT/Tk) in a 6 month cycle at an FCR of 1.2 and average final survival of 93% Comments. Over the last few years, we have been proving that the use of

TAERATION Technology in the design, operation and managing of commercial super intensive closed RAS for shrimp and tilapia is a very efficient alternative to traditional aquaculture aeration systems and fits perfectly in the super intensive management innovative concept. Jorge Lango, Director & Consultant at Integral Aquaculture Services, was the first person to bring and manage this new technology in the aquaculture industry and he also work with Advanced Industrial Aeration as Sales Representative and Solution Support worldwide.
