Abstract :

Abstract[1] In this study the efficiency of Nanocid as a new chemical material was compared to Hydrogen Peroxide (PX), a commonly used material in aquaculture and Chloramine-T (Cl), an active disinfectant against different pathogens, in Persian sturgeon larvae. The Nanocid at two concentrations (N40 and N80 mg/l), Hydrogen Peroxide at concentration (PX40 mg/l) and Chloramine-T at two concentrations (Cl15 and Cl20 mg/l) with a control group (untreated) were established in 20-liter aquariums for controlling the fungal load and calculating the best dosage among different treatments. The determination of physiochemical parameters (pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen) indicated no significant difference between treated groups and control (P>0.05). The result of total count of fungi showed that the treatment N80 was significantly effective against fungal agents in larvae compared to other treatments, followed by treatment PX40 (P<0.05). * Corresponding Authors; Email: [e-mail]
