摘要

In order to investigate the effects on fish production and health in a commercial aquaculture facility, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with an initial average body weight of 41 g were reared in raceway-channels under a continuous application of either peracetic acid (0.2 mg PAA L−1) or ultraviolet C light (UV-C, 316.7–155.8 mWs cm−2) to the inflowing water for a total of 183 days. Compared to the control, all performance metrics recorded in the fish from the PAA and UV-C treatment groups were significantly increased at the end of the production. To account for the multi-pathogen exposure in the fish farm, regular fish health examinations were conducted. Pathogens detected were the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Aeromonas salmonicida, and Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD). Furthermore, rainbow trout displayed symptoms of puffy skin disease (PSD). From the perspective of PSD, the PAA protocol reduced the prevalence and severity of the disease. At the end of the production cycle, 90% of fish from the PAA treatment remained marketable. Thus, PAA can be considered a promising tool to protect rainbow trout from PSD in the future. In contrast, UV-C light did not soothe or prevent PSD outbreaks. However, the UV-C treatment delayed the development of PKD symptoms in the corresponding group by around 1 month. The application of the treatment methods investigated resulted in increased production costs. Overall, the continuous application of the pathogen reduction methods proved to be positive for fish health and by this for aquaculture.
