                            Harry K. Dupree Stuttgart National Aquaculture Research Cntr** Project Number: 6028-31630-009-009-N
                        
                        Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement Start Date: May 22, 2023
                        
                        End Date: May 22, 2026 **Objective:**
                        
                        To measure growth parameters, water quality improvement and pathogen reduction when using peracetic acid in trout culture. **Approach:**
                        
                        Cooperator and ARS will use peracetic acid (PAA) as a water disinfect treatment to determine its effects on water quality and health, growth and overall production of rainbow trout. Trout will be treated with 1 mg/L PAA on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week for the duration of the study. Parameters to be measured include water quality (Dissolved Oxygen, Oxidative-Reductive Potential, Total Ammonia-Nitrogen, pH, alkalinity/hardness), visual fish health assessment, histopathology of gills and eyes, and growth parameters (weight, length and feed conversion ratio).
