ORGANIC DIGESTER FOR FISH & SHRIMP FARM TREATMENT
Reduces ammonia, nitrites and nitrates in the water.
Improves the eating habits of the shrimp/fish.
Increases the growth cycle of the shrimp/fish.
Enhances the living conditions of the shrimp/fish.
Very cost effective.
Completely natural and safe for the shrimp/fish.
Less mortality rate.
Dosing rates:
Per hectare (one meter deep) Week 1 – 10 liters.
Weeks 2 – 7 – 2 liters.
Week 8 and on – 1 liter.
The Organic Digester initial treatment is 1 gallon per 40,000-50,000 gallons. If the pond is covered with algae then double the dosage. Maintenance treatments are 1 gallon per 80,000 gallons. You should not need our AWT-1 for aquaculture unless you are trying to significantly increase the number of prawns/fish in the lagoon.
Nitrate and Phosphate Reduction Using Strata Products:
Strata International produces several microbial-based products that will reduce or eliminate nitrate and phospahte in soil, surface water and groundwater. In addtion to nitrate and phosphate, these products will also reduce or eliminate ammonia, nitrite, residual herbicides and many other nuisance organic and inorganic compounds.
Strata International nitrate and phosphate reducing products are composed of two general types of mcirobes, faculative heterotrophs and aerobic chemolithotrophs. Facultative heterotrophs are microbes that can grow with or without oxygen and must have an external source of carbon other that CO2. Aerobic chemolithotrophs require oxygen to grow and are autotrophic, that is they use CO2 as their source of carbon. These two groups of microbes work in concert with each other to reduce or eliminate nitrate and phosphate.
Nitrate reduction is accompllished by the heterotrophic microbes that reduce nitrate (HNO3) to nitrite(HNO2) where gaseous nitrogen is released into the atmosphere. The nitrite (HNO2) is then converted back to nitrate (HNO3) by the chemolithotrophs and the process repeats over again. Each cycle, nitrate to nitrite to nitrate liberates nitrogen gas thus reducing the total nitrate present.
Phosphate is utlized by both heterotrophs and chemolithotrophs contained in Strata products. Both groups need phosphorus for production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the main source of energy generation in all living organisms, cell wall synthesis and DNA synthesis. Phosphate (phosphorus) is literally bound-up within the microbes themselves. The more microbes present, the more phosphorus is taken-up into their biomass.
Controlling nitrates and phosphates helps reduce groundwater contamination as well as reducing their respecitve build-up in surface soils. In addition, reducing nitrate and phosphate in soil prevents nutrient runoff into rivers, lakes and estuaries thus reducing algae blooms including neurotoxin dinoflagglates.
