AQUAPONICS – TILAPIA – FLORIDA


Greater foliage development and faster growth rates
- 60% Increase In Yield
AQUAPONICS – TILAPIA – LA FRANCIA FISH FARM, COLOMBIA
92% REDUCTION IN AMMONIACAL NITROGEN
81% REDUCTION IN NITRATES


- Concentration of nitrites was low, while ammonia was very high, because the nitrifying bacteria were not established in the system
- BP recommended that the aeration system be improved to ensure a better flow of oxygen in the aquatic environment to allow for optimal bacterial reproduction
- Weight of the fish increased significantly during the implementation of biotechnology
INTENSIVE SYSTEMS – ROHU FISH AND SHRIMP
KARNATAKA, INDIA

Phase 1 Results: Spawn to Fry (1 Month Growth)
- Mortality reduced by 25% in Treatment vs. Control ponds with uniform consistent growth in test pond
- All parameters were well within the recommended levels with dissolved oxygen above 5.0 mg/l
- Reduction in ammonia levels is evident in treatment ponds vs. control ponds
- Growth of Rohu was superior and uniformly consistent in treatment ponds vs. control ponds where growth was inferior and erratic
Phase 2 Results: Fry to Fingerling (15 Week Growth)
- Improved survival rate by 8.75 %
- Increase BioMass by 14.30%
Phase 3 Results: Grow Out Phase – Using ACF-PAC and ACF-Nitro Activator
- Increased BioMass by 14.82%
- Treated spawn survived 7 days before reaching 50% mortality, compared to just under 3 days in the control pond
- ACF-PAC doubled the survival time
Phase 4 Results: Fish Transportation – In this Phase, the ability of ACF-PAC with ACF-NITRO Activator to reduce fish mortality during fish transport was tested
- Used only aerated mix tank product (ACF-PAC and ACF-NITRO Activator), which was applied at the rate of 1 part final bioreactor product to 20 parts fish transport
- Experiment evaluated survival of spawn, fry, and fingerlings, with and without ACF-PAC / NITRO addition
- Key test was the time elapsed (vs control) before 50% mortality occurred
- Treated fry survived 38 hours before 50% mortality, compared to just 6 hours to reach 50% mortality in the control situation
- ACF-SC use meant 6 times longer survival before 50% mortality compared to control
