Eutro-Clear for
Microbial Bioaugmentation in Aquaculture
In Aquaculture,
heavily stocked fish ponds can become hypereutrophic. High and toxic levels of
ammonia and nitrates and high levels of organic wastes will upset the balance
of the water's chemistry. Unwanted bacteria and other microorganisms may begin
to grow. This makes the aquatic occupants vulnerable to many diseases,
including Vibrio harveyi. Algal blooms begin to dominate the environment. The
system can become anoxic. The pond's natural ecosystem cannot be
maintained
Using a combination
of nitrifying bacteria Nitro-Clear with Eutro-Clear Pro-biotic formula will
address ammonia and reduce the organic sludge within the system. The
pro-biotics assist in feed conversion and digestion. Excess food, feces
build-up is reduced. Turbidity is reduced, water becomes cleaner.
The beneficial
microbes in Eutro-Clear actively compete for the nutrients in the water
. The bacteria used in Eutro-Clear's
bioaugmentation process are selected specifically for their ability to degrade
organic material, and nitrify ammonia and because of the high CFU counts
(colony forming units) do so at an accelerate rate. These bacteria consume the
nutrients in the water. The microbes ingest carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous at a
ratio of 100:10:4. In the presence of calcium carbonate and high pH, an
insoluble phosphorous particulate is created by the death of the microbes. This
reduces the amount of bioavailable nutrients that are then available for the
algae and pathogenic strains of bacteria.
Nutrient levels are
reduced. They limit the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.
Ideal for use in fish
hatcheries, fish and prawn/shrimp farms, lobster pens, and aquaria to combat
the most common problems associated with high nutrient levels.
- Improves water in aquaculture
systems
- Reduces ammonia levels,
nitrates, algae and sludge buildup
- Reduces risk of infection and
improves survival rates
- Reduces stock losses due to
toxic ammonia
- Reduces or eliminates time
required to oxidize the pond bottoms between growing cycles
Application rates - time period and amount of product per system vary
with the volume of water. General initial dose is 1 to 2 gallons per
hectare.
If water volume within the
Aquaculture water treatment system turns over in less than 1 week add
maintenance dose each time system turns over.
Effective over a wide temperature
range (49 degrees F to 105 degrees F) and a wide pH range (6.5 to 9.0). Product
performance will be adversely affected when Aquaculture System water
temperatures fall below 45 degrees F.
Initial product applications may
temporarily increase BOD level (biological oxygen demand), it is therefore
advisable to provide sub surface aeration to expedite the establishment of the
beneficial microbial species or to use . A minimum DO (dissolved oxygen) level
of 3 % is required.
Nitro-Clear
for ammonia reduction
For high ammonia
nitrogen Nitro-Clear - nitrifying
bacteria is designed to control ammonia and nitrite. Nitrifying bacteria is
designed to provide a biological oxidation of ammonia for shrimp/prawn, fish
hatchery pond, ornamental koi fish pond, tropical fish pond, fish farms,
lobster pens, prawn farms, natural lakes, ponds and rivers. Nitrification is
the biological or biochemical process in which ammonia is oxidized to nitrite,
and nitrite oxidized to nitrate.
