Abstract

The effect of continuous dosing of hydrogen peroxide to a marine recirculating aquaculture system holding summer flounder was examined. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent that may affect many chemical and biological processes. Results indicate that continuous dosing of hydrogen peroxide at the level tested is not an effective method to improve water quality in marine systems.
