Environmental factors affecting fish and shrimp health

 

Fish and shrimp’s health in hatcheries may be affected by various living or non-living agents in their environment. Many infectious organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites may cause disease to your farmed species. The outside factors include the environmental conditions and water is the principal component, which can compromise their health.

Therefore, it is crucial to control the critical water quality parameters, such as oxygen, un-ionized ammonia, nitrite, free carbon-dioxide or pH. However your hatchery’s performance can also be affected by water hardness or temperature.

The primary task in aquaculture is to maintain water quality conditions within ideal levels for the species being cultured.

The optimal feeds, appropriate feeding regimes or zootechnical management are important, but all the aqua farmers know that the quality of water is crucial to grow high quality fish and shrimp.

Sub-optimal water quality and insufficient water supply can dramatically hurt your business, by undermining production results.

Water quality has a significant impact on your production, so it deserves your particular attention.

To obtain good growth rates, fish and shrimp must be cultured in the optimum water conditions. Good water quality minimizes the risk of deficiencies in fish and shrimp growth and improve their survival rate. The bacterial control is essential in order to control the excess of pathogens and toxic agents, which can significantly harm your production performance.

BactoSafe is a concentrated complex of live bacteria specially selected to enhance the health of fish and shrimp by controlling bad and excessive bacterial communities in the production system.

Bactosafe regulates and enhances the microbial environment, allows the establishment of healthy water conditions, improves feed conversion ratio and thus increases overall animal performance.
