Description
Kyle Rauch, Jessica Bennett, Amina Stoddart, and Graham Gagnon test ultraviolet LED disinfection against fish pathogens, in a study published in two thousand twenty-four. Two bacteria, Aeromonas salmonicida and Yersinia ruckeri, plague salmon farming. Vaccination at scale is expensive and unreliable.
Mercury UV lamps kill these bacteria but are fragile and power-hungry, suiting only closed systems. LED versions are durable, battery-friendly, and adaptable. Three LED wavelengths were tried on both bacteria, in pure culture and in wastewater. All three disinfected effectively. The authors see LED treatment opening UV disinfection to open and remote aquaculture settings. Cheaper, hardier water treatment could cut antibiotic use and fish losses across the industry.
