Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the zoo and aquarium industry.
Critical for maintaining adequate dissolved oxygen levels in aquatic environments. Oxygen is supplied to aquariums and tanks to support the respiration of fish, marine mammals, and other aquatic life. It is also used in medical treatments for animals requiring supplemental oxygen.
Used to regulate the pH of water in aquariums and aquatic exhibits. Controlled CO2 levels help maintain the proper balance of carbonate and bicarbonate ions, which is essential for the health of aquatic plants and animals. CO2 is also used in some euthanasia procedures.
Employed to create inert atmospheres for certain maintenance procedures and to prevent oxidation in water systems. Nitrogen gas is also used in cryopreservation of biological samples and reproductive materials.
Occasionally used in veterinary treatments, particularly in respiratory therapies for animals with severe airway obstruction, helping to reduce airway resistance when mixed with oxygen (heliox therapy).
Utilized for sterilizing medical and surgical instruments that cannot withstand high-temperature steam sterilization, ensuring they are free from pathogens.
Although not typically used directly in zoos and aquariums, it is important to monitor and control CO levels to ensure a safe environment for both animals and staff, particularly in enclosed spaces where fuel-powered equipment is used.
Occasionally used in specialized veterinary diagnostic equipment, such as ultrasound contrast agents.
