Ozone in Aquaculture
Cleaner water. Healthier fish. Better results.
In the aquaculture industry, water quality isn’t just a technical detail — it’s a critical success factor. At EMO3, we specialize in custom-built ozone generator systems for Recirculating Aquatic Systems (RAS) aquaculture that help you reduce fish mortality, improves production yield, and reduces overall cost.
Whether you’re managing a hatchery, a large-scale RAS, or an intensive fish farm, ozone in aquaculture gives you the control you need over water conditions, without the downsides of harsh chemicals.
How Does Ozone Work?
Ozone works through oxidation. It destroys dissolved organic compounds, breaks down ammonia, and neutralizes waterborne pathogens. In technical terms, it boosts the performance of your biofiltration system and helps stabilize oxygen levels — which are key to fish growth and overall system health.
Ozone also plays a role in controlling pH, reducing bacterial load, and ensuring safe, clear water in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
Why Choose Ozone Water Treatment?
Ozone treatment is one of the most powerful and efficient ways to treat water in aquaculture operations. As a powerful oxidizing agent, ozone reacts instantly with organic matter, harmful bacteria, and viruses in the water — reducing the organic load and improving water clarity.
More importantly, ozone promotes fish health by creating cleaner environments and reducing the risk of disease outbreaks. Unlike chlorine or antibiotics, ozone leaves no residue, no taste, and no environmental impact. It’s a truly non-chemical water treatment solution that makes sense for modern, sustainable aquaculture facilities.
Ozone in RAS: Efficient & Reliable
In closed-loop RAS facilities, water quality is everything. Ozone offers a 2 for 1 advantage: Reduces pathogen and organic load while increasing oxygen levels! ozone treatment offers precise control over disinfection, ammonia reduction, and dissolved oxygen levels. By removing organic materials before they clog filters or bio-beds, ozone extends the life of your filtration equipment and improves system efficiency.
Ozone in hatchery management also helps reduce mortality and supports stronger fish from day one. It’s a smarter, cleaner way to raise healthy stock — without overreliance on antibiotics or chemical additives.
Benefits of Ozone for Aquaculture
- Promotes better fish health
- Reduction of harmful bacteria and viruses
- Reduction of organic load and sludge
- Improved water treatment performance
- Increased dissolved oxygen and water quality
- Compliance with health and environmental standards
Reduction in long-term operating costsWhether you’re working in freshwater, saltwater, or brackish environments, ozone in aquaculture gives you the flexibility and power to maintain peak performance — naturally.

Want to learn how ozone could transform your operation?
Got Questions? You’re Not Alone.
Why is ozone used in aquaculture water treatment?
To disinfect water, remove organic matter, improve clarity, and increase oxygen levels. It acts quickly, leaves no residue, and improves water and fish health.
Is ozone safe for fish and aquatic species?
Yes — when properly dosed, ozone is safe and widely used across commercial aquaculture facilities.
Can ozone replace chemical disinfectants in aquaculture?
Absolutely. It’s more effective, more sustainable, and reduces your regulatory risk.
How does ozone improve water clarity and reduce disease?
By oxidizing suspended particles and eliminating pathogens that harm fish.
What’s the right ozone dosage for aquaculture?
Generally, depending on the species, between 10 and 15 g/h of ozone per 1 kg of daily feed. Each farm is unique and different, so please contact us for more details.

Cooling Towers
Our systems reduce bacteria and control biofilm, prevents legionella, reduces chemical dosing, and enhances system efficiency. A smart solution for keeping your cooling systems clean, compliant, and cost-effective.
Food & Beverage Processing
Ozone is safe to use on food products such as poultry, meat and fish and has been used extensively to sanitize food products. Ozone disinfects process water, surfaces, and equipment—without chemicals. The result: safer food and a safer workspace, aligned with strict food safety standards.
Industrial Wastewater
Through advanced oxidation, ozone breaks down organic and mineral contaminants, reduces BOD/COD, and enables water reuse or compliant discharge—an essential tool for industries facing strict pollution control requirements.
Municipal Drinking Water
Ozonation replaces chlorine in disinfection, reducing by-products (like THMs and HAAs), eliminating emerging pollutants, and improving both taste and safety—while meeting regulatory standards.
Odor Control
Our ozone generators are widely used in pumping stations, treatment pits, factories, and HVAC systems to eliminate VOCs and industrial odors at the source—without masking. A compliant, community-friendly solution.
Public Aquariums
Ozone treatment ensures crystal-clear water and reliable control of bacteria and parasites, all without chemical residues. It also improves indoor air quality for visitors and staff.
Waterparks & Public Pools
Say goodbye to harsh chemicals. Ozone disinfection is fast, and residue-free, providing clean, safe water for pools, slides, and attractions. It improves user comfort and reduces operating costs.
