Iranian Company Increases Efficiency of Fish Farming by Using 200-Nanometer Nanobubbles

Nanobubbles enjoy unique features in increasing the efficiency of resource consumption, reducing pollutants and improving the quality of products.

Experts of the knowledge-based company believe that nanobubbles technology is a strategic solution, because nanobubbles with a diameter of less than 200 nanometers, unlike large bubbles that quickly rise to the surface of the water and explode, can remain suspended in the water for a long time and gradually increase dissolved oxygen.

The achievements of the company show that the use of nanobubble technology not only leads to a significant increase in dissolved oxygen, but can also be effective in reducing microbial load, decomposing organic compounds and improving water clarity. This is a fundamental change in Iranian fish farms, which often face water resource constraints and water quality challenges.

The application of nanobubbles in Iran’s fish farms has two key effects, one of which is to increase stocking density by increasing dissolved oxygen levels, and the other is to enhance food security. Also, nanobubble technology leads to improved quality of final products by reducing antibiotic use and improving environmental conditions which is particularly important for accessing export markets.

Relevant reports said in June that the successful experience of a fish farmer with an Iran-made nanobubble device shows that the technology not only reduces aquatic losses but also provides the water with the oxygen it needs for up to two hours during power outages.

A nanobubble device produced by a company active in the nanotechnology field has yielded significant results in reducing aquatic losses, improving fish growth, and saving energy consumption after three months of use in a fish farm.

Kaveh Badamegan, the manager of a fish farm that has started using the technology recently, elaborated on his experience of working with the nanobubble system.

“We decided to use this technology in our farm. It has now been about three months since the installation of the nanobubble system, and during this time we have witnessed significant positive effects,” he said.

Noting that the fish mortality has significantly decreased in his farm, Badamegan stated, “The reliable performance of the device in emergency situations has also been satisfactory and in times of power outages, this device has been able to provide the required oxygen to the water for about two hours without the need to start the electric motor.”

Studies in Iran have shown that, given the potential of nanobubbles, it is possible to double the annual production of aquatic products with the help of this technology.
