Phenoxyethanol is an oily and slightly sticky liquid with a faint rose-like smell. It is used as a preservative in various applications in pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, dyes & inks, insect repellent, aquaculture, and metal working fluids. Phenoxyethanol is also used as an insect repellent or as an anesthetic in fish aquaculture. Aquaculture has the potential to become sustainable solution of fish production to cater to increasing demand for fish and fish products.
For instance, according to the report ‘The State of World Fisheries And Aquaculture’ published by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in 2018, the global apparent consumption of fish increased to around 189 million tons in 2019, from around 159 million tons in 2016, whereas worldwide edible fish consumption in 2030 is projected to be 20% higher than that in 2019. Therefore, increasing demand for fish and fish products is expected to fuel growth of the aquaculture industry, thereby propelling the demand for phenoxyethanol.
