Tilapia aquaculture in Bangladesh has increased 35 times in the last decade thanks to modern commercial aquaculture techniques.
Production of tilapia has increased to 0.138 million tonnes in 2012 from 0.004 million tonnes in 2002.
Tilapia now accounts for 4.45 percent of the total 3.1 million tonnes of fish production in the country, according to the Department of Fisheries.
Xylem Inc., USA has expanded its offering of WEDECO ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection solutions specifically developed for the tank-based aquaculture
industry.
Xylem's new closed-vessel WEDECO BX and Quadron series UV
systems are designed for inactivating fish pathogens. The systems are
contained in duplex stainless steel reactors capable of resisting the
corrosive effect of saltwater. The new WEDECO units will enable
customers to efficiently handle pressurized flows ranging from ten to
more than 4,000 cubic meters per hour. The new systems were
showcased at AquaNor in Trondheim, Norway this week.
"We are excited to offer new and innovative aquaculture solutions to
our customers," said Gretchen McClain, president and chief executive
officer, Xylem.
"The recent extension of our line of WEDECO
disinfection systems is the latest example of our commitment to solving
our customers' water problems. We look forward to bringing all areas of
Xylem's aquaculture expertise to customers in pumping, treatment,
instrumentation, heat exchange and control systems, for optimal
biosecurity, energy efficiency, and value."

Xylem’s WEDECO brand is a world leader in UV technology.
Large-scale fish farms in European countries such as Norway, a country
with some of the longest established and most advanced aquaculture
industries rely on Xylem’s disinfection equipment to protect their
aquatic livestock from the spread of diseases and to ensure clean, safe
water for their aquaculture businesses. Xylem’s aquaculture UV solutions
are approved by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) and validated

Fish Farmers from Infectious Disease, which discusses UV disinfection
systems for aquaculture biosecurity.
Aquaculture is the most rapidly growing sector of food production
worldwide. Higher fish density can lead to pathogen increase which is a
significant threat to aquaculture operations. Disinfection by UV or
ozone can reduce the risk of disease in aquaculture systems and results
in less need for vaccination, as well as higher growth rates and
decreased fish mortality.
