Fish in the depuration system lost an average of 4.8% weight, while the fish in the system receiving ACF-PAC treatment gained 2.3% during the same period, for a 7% gain in weight.

Current depuration practices take approximately 10 to 12 days, with a typical weight loss from
3% to 10%. The cost of process, plus the value of weight loss, have a significant economic impact
on global aquaculture

  • RAS typically have issues with ammonia and nitrification
  • ACF-RAS Right and ACF-RAS Right Marine are proven to be a simple and effective method to assure proper nitrification
  • Delivers nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) in a viable form without the need for refrigeration for
    ease of use
  • Available in Ready-To-Use containers or through On-Site Bioreactors depending on scale of operation
  • Safe for all fish types, and available in Marine and Fresh Water Formulas
  • Results: Ammonia Control, Reduced mortality rates, Faster growth rates, Better F/M Ratios, Increased quality and value, Mitigates affect of GEOSMIN and MIB
