Zeolite Benefits in Aquaculture

• Clean the pond by increasing growth and reproduction of Plankton.
• Zeolite absorb toxic gases like Ammonia, Nitrate and Hydrogen Sulphide.
• Regulate pH level of pond water.
• Provide Micro Nutrients.
• Increase Dissolved Oxygen content.
• Absorb odours and bacteria, suspended solids, waste and dirty materials produced from unutilized feed, dead plants and fish etc.

The growth or yield of Fish, Prawn, Shrimp depends largely on favourable water quality characteristics.

In shrimp farming systems excess feed, decal mater or sudden increase or decrease in algal or microbial populations may cause drastic changes in water quality parameters. A part from these physiochemical parameter such as salinity, pH, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide do play a vital role in the survival / growth of prawn shrimp and fish.

The aqua marine animals release ammonia which is toxic in its un-ionized form and its toxicity varies with pH, salinity and temperature. Un-ionized form of ammonia is particularly damaging to fish grill membranes and retards their overall growth. The Zeolite in AQUA CARE works as filter and helps in further mineralization and to oxidize Ammonia to a less toxic form. Mineralization is the process in which heterotrophic bacteria breakdown complex protein and organics into basic inorganic compounds
