Ammonia Controller

Description:

Nitrogenus waste products such as Ammonia and Nitrite can become concentrated and lethal to fish and shrimp. Ammonia is a metabolic waste product of fish and shrimp. It can also accumulate in the water due to decomposition of organic waste such as excess feed and faces. The control of Ammonia and Nitrite in aquaculture is second most factor impacting survival and growth of cultured organisms, following dissolved oxygen. Ammonia can be found in two forms i.e Ionized and Unionized forms. The Unionized form of Ammonia is more toxic to fish and shrimp due it’s ability to entry through gills. The uncharged, lipid soluble molecule can readily pass through cell membranes. We’re as the Ionized form does not readily cross hydrophobic microphores in the gills membrane. Odocurb is a well formulated Yucca Schidegera plant extract along with nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Yucca schidegera extract contains steriodal saponins which controls the secretion of ureaze enzyme by bacteria and prevents the formation of Ammonia.
