The Need for Salt in the Fisheries Industry
Due to the explosive growth in population, demand increased significantly over the past decades, which resulted in the industrialization of various sectors and industries, including aquaculture. To ensure the healthy development and production of fish and other aquatic animals that originate from seas and oceans, the aquaculture pools in which they live need to mimic their natural habitat. As a result, natural substances, such as fishery salt and micronutrients, are added to aquaculture pools to improve the physiological functions of aquatic animals.
Why Fishery Salt is Important
Adding fishery salt to the water tanks and pools results in several advantages that improve the lives of fish and aquatic animals. Firstly, fungi, parasites, and infections on the fish’s skin, gills, or eggs can be significantly decreased and treated by using fishery salt on a weekly or monthly basis (depending on season and water temperature). Moreover, fishery salt is used in the reproduction process of certain aquatic species to separate the eggs and prevent them from sticking together.
External Benefits of Fishery Salt
Furthermore, fishery salt can help maintain the pool and tanks by preventing the ponds and pipes from freezing during winter. Fishery salt can also greatly reduce algae growth by spreading it around the tanks and pools. Additionally, one of the crucial benefits of salt is that it can have a calming effect and ease the stress that the fish experience due to factors such as water acidification as a result of acid rain or during transport.
