Sinhon Thiourea | What are the uses of thiourea in aquaculture?

20-Sep-2024

Thiourea


Thiourea has many uses in aquaculture, mainly including:

 

1. Water quality improvement: thiourea can be used as a water quality improver to regulate and improve water quality and create more suitable environmental conditions for aquaculture.

 

2. Promote growth: thiourea is rich in nitrogen and can be used as a nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of aquatic organisms.

 

3. Disease prevention and treatment: thiourea has certain antibacterial and disinfection effects and can be used to prevent and treat some diseases in aquaculture.

 

4. Enhance immunity: thiourea can improve the immunity of aquatic animals, enhance their resistance to pathogens, and reduce the incidence of diseases. This is achieved by activating the immune system in aquatic animals, such as immune cells such as macrophages, T cells and B cells, promoting their activation and proliferation, and promoting the synthesis of immune factors.

 

5. Disinfection and sterilization: thiourea has a strong disinfection ability and can quickly kill pathogens and harmful microorganisms in water, improving the purity and stability of water quality. Its bactericidal effect is mainly through destroying the bacterial cell membrane structure, causing cell death, and has a broad-spectrum bactericidal effect.

 

Notes:

There are also some risks and limitations in the use of thiourea. For example, excessive use of thiourea may have adverse effects on aquatic organisms and may even cause the death of aquatic animals. In addition, thiourea is also listed as a Class 3 carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, which further limits its application in food production. Therefore, when using thiourea, it is necessary to strictly control the dosage and ensure that it does not have a negative impact on the environment and human health.

 

In summary, the application of thiourea in aquaculture has certain positive effects, but it also needs to be used with caution to avoid possible risks and side effects. When using thiourea, relevant safety operating procedures should be followed to ensure that its use does not cause harm to the environment and human health. Thiourea plays an important role in aquaculture. It can not only enhance the immunity of aquatic animals, but also disinfect and sterilize, promote growth and improve water quality, thereby improving the production efficiency of aquaculture.
