BIO-UV Group protects against white spot syndrome
BIO-UV Group’s technologies are designed to enhance water quality in tanks by replicating natural ecosystems.
The expansion of the shrimp aquaculture industry from Asia to global markets has led to a highly susceptible monoculture that is vulnerable to disease. The white spot syndrome (WSS) or Whispovirus has emerged as the most widespread virus in shrimp farming, posing a significant threat to crustaceans, especially shrimp and prawns. WSS has had a substantial impact on the global aquaculture industry, resulting in widespread loss of life and economic setbacks.
BIO-UV Group’s products are currently operational in shrimp farms in Madagascar and Vietnam, showing promising results. Positioned downstream of the filtration systems, the reactors consistently treat the flow rate based on the water’s turbidity and transmittance. By utilising a germicidal approach, the products eradicate all microorganisms without the need for chemicals, ensuring natural disinfection and healthy water, thus safeguarding shrimp production.
