Aquaculture Pond Green Cleaning Systems Ensure Sustainability

Fish and shrimp farming are on the rise worldwide both for human and animal consumption. The controlled raising of fish improves the quality of the resulting food and makes it easier and less expensive for consumers to obtain. Done well, aquaculture has less negative impacts than open water fishing – with no drift lines or nets to entangle endangered marine species. Aquaculture is also used to raise pet fish – the species you find in your local pet store. There are currently more than 3000 aqua-businesses in the U.S. and many times more worldwide – aquaculture is very popular in Asia, Canada, South America, etc.

The quality and effectiveness of an aquaculture operation is directly dependent upon the quality of the water in the ponds. Raising large amounts of fish in a confined area results in the accumulation of feces and urine that can turn toxic and destroy the entire crop. In addition, external debris and vegetation can enter and pollute the pond.

Traditionally the way to keep aquaculture ponds clean is to frequently dredge or maintain a constant inflow of clean water and with an outflow to remove the contaminants. However, depending upon water sources, this can be an expensive and high maintenance solution. It also limits the locations of aqua-ponds. Green Bull has a better solution. Applying Green Bull Pond and Lake Treatment assures a clean pond and aquaculture sustanability. The product is a concentrated blend of microorganisms that metabolizes fish feces, contaminants, uneaten food and other organic waste and converts it into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

Green Bull restores and stabilizes the micronutrient balance in the water and is much less expensive to use than continuously pumping water into the ponds. This innovative product creates a healthier, less polluted environment for fish or shellfish resulting in better flavor for consumers. Furthermore, Green Bull reduces BOD and increases pond capacity by reducing sludge volume on the pond bottom.
