Microbial pathogens in food cause an estimated 6.5-33 million cases of human illness and up to 9,000 deaths in the United States each year. Over 40 different food borne microbial pathogens, including fungi, viruses, parasites, and bacteria, are believed to cause human illnesses. For six bacterial pathogens, the costs of human illness are estimated to be $9.3-$12.9 billion annually. Of these costs, $2.9-$6.7 billion are attributed to food borne bacteria. Common food related diseases are: Listeria, salmonella, E coli 33 million cases of illness in the usa from food borne contaminants
Ozone is highly effective in all stages of the fish industry. Uses for Ozone in the Fish Industry • Aquaculture, raising fish • Processing • Storing
Freshwater fish farms Tilapia, Catfish, Trout, and others Shrimp farms, Mollusks Using ozone to treat the recirculation water has two primary effects: disease control and adding dissolved oxygen to the water. The results are a 20% to 40% increase in fish yield and healthy, disease-free water Aquaculture
