Aquatic Biosecurity
VIRKON® AQUATIC is a disinfectant specially formulated for the Aquatic environment. Effective against viral and bacterial disease-causing organisms that affect fish production.
Virkon® Aquatic formulation adjusted to suit the aquatic environment – it is not recommended for general use. Note: neither Virkon S nor Rely-On Virkon are recommended for aquatic use.
The intensification of fish production provides an ideal environment in which disease-causing organisms can flourish and cause serious damage to productivity. Disease may come from any number of sources, for example, viruses and bacteria. However, it originates; it spreads through recognised vectors of infection. These include fish stocks, staff and visitors, equipment, vehicles and transportation, other aquatic life, birds and animals, the aquatic environment and even the air itself.
Biosecurity involves the exclusion of disease-causing organisms from the environment. This is particularly important in fish production. It is achieved by the use of external and internal biosecurity barriers (i.e. blocking disease spread on and off a fish farm, and within the farm).
The correct use and selection of disinfectants is very important and ensures that pathogen challenge is minimised, maximising the fish’s natural defence against infection.
