Abstract

The present work aimed at producing chemically stable super oxygenated water with hydrogen peroxide for emergency use in aquaculture tanks. Twenty-four gallons of 12-L each received 10 L of clean freshwater. The control group gallons did not receive any application of hydrogen peroxide 35% p.a. (P35). The experimental group gallons received one single application of P35 at the beginning, in different levels: 2.0 mL P35 L-1 and 4.0 mL P35 L-1. After product applications, the gallons were kept hermetically locked, but half of the gallons were periodically unlocked to take water samples (manipulated gallons), and half were unlocked only at the day 15 and 28 (unmanipulated gallons). Measuring of temperature, pH and dissolved O2 were carried out in all manipulated gallons every two days, in the first 15 days, and every 3-4 days from the 16th to the 28th day. It was concluded that it is possible to prepare chemically stable super oxygenated water for emergency use in aquaculture tanks by applying 2.0 mL L-1 of hydrogen peroxide 35% p.a in clear freshwater. A minimal period of three days must be observed before using the super oxygenated water. Concentrations of dissolved O2 higher than 15 mg L-1 could be obtained for at least 28 days if the water gallons are properly locked up.
