- Product Highlights
- Nitrogenous compounds (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) are considered as major contaminants in aquaculture waste water. Toxic effects from their presence in the water causes decreased growth rate, oxygen consumption, and disease resistance in shrimp ponds.
- Zeolites are able to remove ammonium and ammonium nitrogen in water. It has a large pore space and has many applications such as gas absorption, odor control, and water filtration.
- The ability of Zeolite to absorb ammonia is not unlimited and once it reaches saturation it’s effectiveness goes down. Products like Yucca extracts comes in rescue when Zeolites stops working.
- Not All Zeolites Are Equal: It should posses an excellent Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) around 160-180 meq/100g.
- Benefits of Zeolite in Aquaculture
- Zeolite absorb toxic gasses like Ammonia, Nitrate and Hydrogen Sulfide
- Regulate pH level in pond water
- Reduces disease incidence and mortality rate.
- Provide Micro Nutrients
- Clean the pond by increasing growth
- Absorb odors and bacteria, suspended soils, waste and dirty materials produced from unutilized feed and dead plants
- Benefits of Organic Acids in Aqua Ponds
- Organic Acids are “Generally Regarded as Safe” compounds often containing one or more carboxyl groups (-COOH) with antimicrobial properties.
- Many of the Organic Acids are known to inhibit Vibrio strains.
- Organic acids work well in improving disease resistance when there is less nitrogenous compounds in the water.
Applications & Uses

Technical Details & Test Data
- Organic Acids Mode of Action
- Organic acids possess antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic bacteria such as E. Coli, Salmonella, and Vibrio species.
- Undissociated forms of organic acids can easily penetrate bacterial cell membranes, and dissociate into anions and H+ within the cytoplasm.
- Once inside the bacterial cells, they reduce intracellular pH and disrupt the cytoplasmic membrane, protein synthesis system, genetic materials, and metabolic enzymes.
- In addition, because the bacterial cell uses ATP to pump the excess H+ out of cells, organic acids also deplete ATP levels and affect the cell’s ability to maintain pH homeostasis. However, not all organic acids have effects on bacteria, short chain (C1-C7) acids that are either simple monocarboxylic acids or carboxylic acid bearing hydroxyl group is effective in antimicrobial activity.
