Aplikace nanobublin ozónu v intenzivní akvakultuře
KONONOV, Maksim
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to test the effects of different ozone nanobubble concentrations (O3NB), as a new perspective method of water disinfection in aquaculture, on early ontogeny (the embryonic and larval period) of rainbow trout (Oncorchynchus mykiss) in a hatchery with a pond water (i.e. organically polluted water) source. During this work, two experiments with various O3NB concentrations ranging from 192 +- 40 to 610 +- 122 mV ORP (group 1: 192 +- 40, 2: 277 +- 104, 3: 392 +- 134 a 4: 610 +- 122 mV) in combination with two different husbandry treatments (with/without removal of dead eggs and individuals) were conducted. In the first experiment (N, groups 1-4 N), unfertilized eggs and dead individuals were not collected, in contrast to the second experiment with collection of dead individuals (S, groups 1-4 S). Testing of the above groups (1-4 N/S) was performed in four replicates (aquariums A, B, C, D). Hatching rate was higher in all tested groups of the experiment S. The highest hatching rate (approximately 75 %) was observed in groups 1S, 2S and 3S (ORP 192 +- 40 to 392 +- 134 mV ORP). Fish mortality rate was higher in all groups tested during the experiment N. The highest fish mortality rate (higher than 75 %) was observed in all groups 3N and 4N/S (ORP 392 +- 134 to 610 +- 122 mV). At hatching, the yolk sac volume negatively correlated with O3NB concentration during both experiments. The yolk sac (as an energy source) was faster fully absorbed in fish reared in groups with lower O3NB concentration in comparison with the highest O3NB treatment, when the absorption was markedly slower. The total body length of fish was significantly affected by O3NB concentration during both experiments. The slowest growth was recorded in group with the highest O3NB concentration (ORP 610 +- 122 mV) compared to other groups (ORP from 192 +- 40 to 392 +- 134 mV). The microbiological analyses showed decreasing amount of water microorganisms with increasing O3NB concentration. In summary, the O3NB concentrations in range ORP 192 +- 40 to 394 +- 134 mV), ideally in combination with treatment S, can be recommended for rearing of early stages (embryos and larvae) of rainbow trout. Further research on O3NB in aquaculture is highly required, as there is still a lack of information regarding this perspective technology.

Využití ozónu v intenzivním chovu vybraných druhů ryb
VLČEK, Jakub
Aim of this thesis was to use the ozonisation as a disinfection method for improving of water quality in the intensive fish farms using RAS (recirculating aquaculture system). The main assessed parameter was effect of ozone treatment on fish health and RAS functions and features. Two RAS were used in this study one with use of ozone treatment, one without ozone treatment (control system). There were cultured two different fish species in these two RAS - pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) and European catfish (Silurus glanis). The main reason for use of these two species is that they are perspective species for intensive aquaculture. In the RAS with ozone treatment, two different methods of ozone application were tested - periodical and continual application. The effect of ozone treatment on fish health and conditions was controlled regularly. Ozone treatment had positively affected the survival of both cultured species (pikeperch survival: with ozone = 77.0 % and without ozone = 67.2 %; European catfish: with ozone = 93.1 % and without ozone = 91.5 %). Ozone treatment also positively affected the water chemistry. The greatest difference was observed in CHSKMn: with ozone = 6.4?1.2 mg.l; without ozone = 10.7?1.6 mg.l. The same features were observed in suspended solids: with ozone = 4.3?2.8 mg.l-1; without ozone = 8.17?6.2 mg.l. Appearance of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and bacterial infection were not affected by ozone treatment. The main result of this thesis and this design of experiment is that ozone treatment had a positive impact on water chemistry in observed RAS and it, however, didn't kill 100% of the fish pathogens.

How to prevent the proliferation of Legionella pneumophylis in hot water in the hospital Czech Krumlov
TUREK, Jan
This diploma thesis deals with microbiological quality of hot water in a hospital in Cesky Krumlov as well as hot water piping condition with respect to Legionella. It also deals with arrangements for improving the quality of hot water in this hospital. The subject and target of this thesis are the findings of the mentioned parameters based on own observations, technical documentation and analysis of warm water performed by an accredited laboratory. The hospital in Cesky Krumlov, the construction of which began in 1909, was built in 1911 as the 'Nemocnice Císaře Františka Josefa I.' As the time went by, new buildings were built up. The hospital was renamed to 'Všeobecná veřejná nemocnice' in 1942. In the following years the hospital expanded until the current condition. Water quality and presence of Legionella is a world-wide issue, which we must fight against. The thesis is divided into two parts. First, theoretical part, which includes both general and specific knowledge about Legionella, its health risks, the environment in which it occurs, possibilities of eliminating, suitability of the material for hot water pipes, gained in professional literature and a part of the Czech legislation dealing with public health protection, the law 'No. 258/2004 Coll.' in actual version and quality of drinking water and hot water. In the second, empirical part, I focus on the situation of the hospital in Cesky Krumlov from 2009 till 2015, concerning newly built boiler room and the whole distribution system of hot water regarding Legionella. Particularly I focused on materials used for ecologisation of the gas boiler room and materials used for hot water pipes and actual state of water distribution in individual buildings of this health care facility. I mentioned the analysis of the water samples performed by an accredited laboratory with corresponding technical documentation, which concerns the water distribution system, provided by the medical facility. I used secondary data analysis to evaluate these documents. Regarding the results from 2009 to 2015 the microbiological quality of warm water doesn't meet the limits defined in the Attachment No. 3 of the above mentioned law Order 252/2004 Coll. Limit value for colony forming units of Legionella is set to maximum of 100 CFU. In most of the samples this limit was exceeded by series of units up to hundred thousands of units. The last results in 2015 prove improvement of the unfavorable situation. In that year the analysis was tested three times. First in February, where the CFU units were 'only' in hundreds, with the top value of 550 CFU in the Postacute Care ward. Second analysis was performed in June that same year. Results were acceptable. The highest value was 64 CFU. Last analysis in the hospital was performed in December. Increased concentration of Legionella was again in the Surgery building. There were established of 1400 colony forming units. There were 300 CFU in the Postacute Care ward and the limit value of 100 CFU was in the ward of Internal medicine. The answers to research questions 'How to prevent reproduction of Legionella peumophylis in the water distribution system of the hospital in Cesky Krumlov?' and 'How to ensure a sufficient amount of quality hot water in the medical facility?' are included at the end of the stated recommendations. A risk factor causing the fast reproduction of Legionella is the old water distribution system in most of the buildings and low water temperature of water leaving the boiler, which is 55°C. All mentioned results and evaluations are included in this thesis as well as attached pictures, which show the environment and situation within the Health Care Institutions.
