Iran’s nanobubble tech boosts efficiency, reduces mortality in aquaculture

An Iranian-developed nanobubble system is revolutionizing aquaculture by improving oxygen transfer in water, significantly reducing fish mortality and accelerating growth—while even ensuring oxygen supply for up to two hours during power outages without backup electricity.

According to the Center for Communication and Information of the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, power outages are a serious challenge for fish farms. However, the nanobubble solution—developed by the knowledge-based company Nanotechnology Seraj—offers a breakthrough by maintaining oxygen levels without external support.

Following a three-month trial on a fish farm, the nanobubble generator demonstrated remarkable results in reducing aquatic fatalities, enhancing growth rates, and improving energy efficiency.

Kaveh Badamegan, a fish farm manager using the technology, reported, “We were introduced to the system at an exhibition and decided to implement it. Within three months, we’ve seen a clear reduction in fish deaths and improved performance, even in emergencies.”

This innovation harnesses nanobubbles to boost oxygenation efficiency and stands as a tangible example of nanotechnology addressing environmental and productivity challenges in Iran’s agriculture and aquaculture sectors.
