Abstract

The use of environmentally friendly methods is one of the new approaches in combating pathogens in aquaculture systems. The purpose of this research was the possibility evaluation of indirect use of Ag-NPs-coated porous ceramic in water filtration of culture system of shrimp post-larvae to control Vibrio harveyi. In this study, Ag-NPs-coated filters were characterized by various analytical techniques such as FTIR, XRD, ICP, and SEM. In this study, the antibacterial activity of Ag-NPs-coated on porous ceramic against mentioned bacteria via in vitro experiments Zone of inhibition test and Test tub test were determined. Then porous ceramic filter media used for water treatment. Therefore, the performance of the Ag-NPs-coated on porous ceramics in removing pathogenic bacteria was studied in two phases: In the first phase, V. harveyi was inoculated to the water and efficacy of filters of inhibition of bacteria was evaluated via total count of bacteria in the test water; in the second phase, the performance of the Ag-NPs-coated on porous ceramic was tested in the presence of shrimp larvae and efficacy of filters in inhibition of bacteria was evaluated via total count of bacteria, mortality rate, clinical signs, and also hepatopancreas and muscle culture. Based on the results, the highest zone of inhibition obtained in presence of Ag-NPs-coated porous ceramic modified by an aminosilane coupling agent, 3-Amino-Propyl-Triethoxysilane (APTES; the samples were immersed in the silver colloidal solution for 24h). The results of the flow test showed the highest bacteria removal efficiency from water with complete removal of the targeted pathogen. In the second phase, the results indicated a significant difference in decreasing of water bacteria, shrimp mortality and disease symptoms in treatment containing silver compounds compare to controls. According to results, Ag-NPs-coated porous ceramic have a high bacteria removal efficiency for the disinfection of water of culture system of shrimp to control Vibrio harveyi.
