COMMERCIAL FISH OPERATIONS

The application rate for BZT® Aquaculture is determined by the nutrient load of the water. Intensive fish culturing and densely populated fish ponds will have higher levels of organic waste than a backyard pond with few fish, high oxygen levels, good circulation, etc. The fish farm condition will be vastly different from any other water source due to the number of variables related to the commercial fish operation.

It is important to realize that changing conditions such as fish growth and subsequent increase in feed level will increase the levels of organic waste in the system. An increase in the dosage rates of BZT® Aquaculture will be required to degrade these higher levels of waste matter at the same rate at which the previous levels had been degraded. When you notice that the maintenance rate is not keeping up with the organic wastes (odors, changes in water clarity, algae growth, etc.) increase the maintenance rate to weekly and the dosage rate in 20% increments until you have again obtained control of the pond. BZT® Aquaculture should not be used when fish are being treated with medication.

The living microorganisms in BZT® Aquaculture, like treating any complex system, require your monitoring and adjustments to guarantee a successful program of organic control and tap water quality.
