Results indicated ozone had a significantly positive effect in the recirculating aquacultural production system. Further study is recommended, however, to better understand the effects of ozone and to justify economically the use of ozone in commercial systems.vi, 46 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1991.J655AquacultureWater -- Purification -- OzonizationThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-04072009-040513/
