“…In the experiment of 48 h, the significantly lower change of conductivity and blood glucose concentration in group Zeo may indicate that the adsorptive action of the zeolite on ammonia mitigates or prevents the ammonia-induced ionoregulatory disturbances (Silapajarn et al, 2006). Similar to the results obtained for Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Oliveira et al, 2009), the addition of increasing amounts of salt and eugenol did not reduce total ammonia at the end of 12 hour experiment.…”

“…Zeolite, an ion exchange resin, is used in aquaculture in order to remove ammonia in fish production systems, as well as during their storage in tanks or in transport bags (Silapajarn et al, 2006), through sodium ion exchange for ammonia (Kaiser et al, 2006;Singh et al, 2004). The addition of zeolite in the transport of catla Catla catla, roholabeo Labeo rohita, mrigal carp Cirrhinus mrigala (Kaiser et al, 2006;Singh et al, 2004), the Lake Victoria cichlid Haplochromis obliquidens (Kaiser et al, 2006), and guppy Poecilia reticulata (Teo et al, 1989) have been evaluated, and all have reported favorable effects on water quality.…”

ResumenSe evaluó el uso de cloruro de sodio (1 y 2 g/L), eugenol (0.1 y 0.5 mg/L), y zeolita (7 g/L en confinamiento de 12 h y 10 g/L en el de 48 h), así como de las mezclas de cloruro de sodio más eugenol (1 g/L y0.5 mg/L, respectivamente) y eugenol más zeolita (0.5 mg/L y 7 o 10 g/L, respectivamente) en confinamiento de Ancistrus triradiatus durante periodos de 12 y 48 h. Se midieron los parámetros de calidad del agua, oxígeno disuelto, pH, temperatura, conductividad y concentraciones de amoniaco total, amonio no ionizado y nitrito. La concentración de glucosa en sangre fue medida antes de iniciar el confinamiento y a las 0, 24 y 48 horas después de terminado dicho confinamiento. También se realizó una prueba de resistencia al estrés al finalizar el periodo de confinamiento mediante la exposición de peces a una solución salina hiperosmótica durante 1 h, en la cual se registró el número de peces que mantenía el eje de nado a intervalos de 5 min; se registró la mortalidad al finalizar los periodos de confinamiento (12 y 48 horas) y la mortalidad acumulada durante los 7 días siguientes. El uso de 1 y 2 g/L de cloruro de sodio en el confinamiento de A. triradiatus durante periodos de 12 h y de 1 g/L durante periodos de 48 h incrementó la resistencia al estrés y redujo la mortalidad de los animales. El uso de eugenol o zeolita no mejoró la resistencia al estrés ni contribuyó a la reducción de la mortalidad de los animales, mientras que la exposición a las mezclas de sal más eugenol y de eugenol más zeolita incrementó la mortalidad, por lo que el uso de estas mezclas no es recomendado en operaciones de confinamiento de A. triradiatus.Palabras clave: Aceite de clavo, clinoptilolita, Loricariidae, sal, transporte de peces. AbstractThe use of sodium chloride (1 and 2 g/L), eugenol (0.1 and 0.5 mg/L), and zeolite (clinoptilolite, 7 g/L for 12 h and 10 g/L for 48 h of confinement), and also mixtures of salt plus eugenol (1 g/L and 0.5 mg/L, respectively) and eugenol plus zeolite

“…The characteristics of 25 different zeolite products purchased from shrimp supply stores in Thailand were evaluated in a research project (Silapajarn et al 2006). As result, it was recommended to refrain from using zeolite to remove ammonia from pond waters especially in shrimp aquaculture, where the salinity of waters ranges from 1 or 2 ppt to over 30 ppt.…”

Zeolites are microporous crystalline hydrated aluminosilicates, which have found various applications because of their very unique physicochemical characteristics such as ion exchange and adsorption–desorption properties. Significant progress has been made in recent years on applications of these inorganic adsorbents in different industries including agriculture, aquaculture, water and wastewater treatment, air purification and petrochemicals. This review article intends to summarize the published reports on the applications of natural, synthetic and modified zeolites in aquaculture industry. Application of zeolitic materials for water quality improvement of fish farms and fish transportation tanks by selective capturing of ammonia and toxic heavy metals and zeolite application as feed additive to enhance fish growth and promote their health and nutritional parameters are the most important discussed areas. According to the technical data that are discussed in this review, natural and synthetic zeolites should be considered as materials with tremendous potential of applications in the aquaculture industry. Considerable amounts of research works are under way to explore other opportunities for application of zeolites to benefit aquaculture industry.

“…The use of zeolites (silicate minerals extracted from either natural deposits or synthesis) has been done to stimulate the growth of microalgae, particularly diatoms (Nieves et al, 2000); however, due to the differences in the physical and chemical characteristics between sources, the effects of zeolites on water quality and growth performance in shrimp cultures are contradictory (Silapajarn et al, 2006;Zhou & Boyd, 2014). There are other siliceous products, such as diatomaceous earth (diatomite), for which no in-depth studies have been conducted to date to assess its effect on the production parameters of cultured shrimps.…”

Silicon dioxide has been used in aquaculture to increase the abundance of diatoms; however, its relationship with water quality or productive performance has not been investigated. Our study evaluated the effect of diatomite on water quality, growth performance and proximate composition of Penaeus vannamei reared in seawater (E1) and brackish water (E2) with biofloc. Two independent experiments (E1 and E2), each one with three treatments with biofloc were evaluated: treatments D with a weekly addition of diatomite (10 g m-3); the treatments D plus a continuous inoculum of diatom Chaetoceros muelleri (DD); and only biofloc like control, for E1 was used post-larvae with an initial body weight (IBW) of 0.0075 g; while in E2 was used juvenile with an IBW of 1.42 g. After seven weeks in E1, non-significant differences were registered in survival, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feeding conversion rate (FCR) between DD treatment and control. However, in E2, the treatment D showed significantly higher WG (9.83 g) and SGR (4.25% d-1) compared to control (7.64 g and 3.86% d-1, respectively). Conversely, the FCR was lower in treatment D (1.16) compared to control (1.49). Non-significant differences were recorded in the proximate composition for shrimp, periphyton, and biofloc, among treatments in both experiments. Levels of nitrogenous wastes were similar among treatments. While in E2, the concentration of settleable solids was significantly higher in treatments with diatomite compared to control. Our results recommend the use of diatomite to improve the growth performance of shrimps cultured in brackish water with biofloc.
