Aquaculture - Biological Products for the Treatment of Shrimp, Fish and Ornamental Ponds

Common Problems

Many of the residues from fish and shrimp culture accumulate on the pond bottom. This accumulation has several detrimental effects on the shrimp and the pond operation. This sediment is anoxic, or lacking in oxygen, and contains toxic substances such as ammonia, nitrite, and hydrogen sulfide. A large amount of toxic sediment will also decrease water quality. Poor quality pond bottoms and water cause short and long term effects on fish and shrimp. The short term effect is manifest as mass mortalities. The longer term effect is increased stress, which causes reduced feeding and growth rates (with lower feed conversion ratio and its attendant cost) and greater susceptibility to infectious diseases such as Vibriosis and viruses. Many of the disease problems encountered on fish and shrimp farms - and often blamed for their demise - originate from poor sediment quality.

Solution

EmTec-AQ Aquaculture Pond Treatment is a biological pond treatment specifically designed to meet the demands of the aquaculture industry. It is perfect for fish hatcheries and farms, shrimp, prawns, and more. It is a blend of all natural bacteria scientifically formulated to create and maintain cleaner, healthier ponds. It degrades common organic wastes, such as fecal matter and excess feed. It also helps to control potentially lethal ammonia, nitrates and nitrites before they become a problem.

EmTec-AQ Aquaculture Pond Treatment also detoxifies pond water by degrading many pesticides, hydrocarbons and other contaminants. It is suitable for use in general, semi-intensive, and intensive farming operations.

Ponds treated with EmTec-AQ show increased survival, higher yields and improved feed conversion. They also require less frequent water changes and have less off-flavor problems. Older ponds can see a gradual restoration to previous yields.
