Control of off-flavor compounds in a full-scale recirculating aquaculture system rearing rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
Fish is increasingly produced in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), which can offer some production and environmental benefits. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to develop off-flavors in RAS, mainly caused by geosmin (GSM) and 2-methyl isoborneol (MIB) accumulating in the fish flesh from the circulating water. These off-flavors are objectionable to consumers, reducing the profitability of production and causing an unwanted reputation for this fish production sector. In this study, combinations of oxidative chemicals: ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and peracetic acid (PAA) were applied in a commercial, full-scale (1.3 M kg a−1) RAS rearing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). …
