In aquaculture, the amount of oxygen needed by a shrimp, prawn or fish depends on its body surface. Approximately 4 ppm is the minimum required for life processes in aquaculture waters.
Hemocyanin, a natural substance found in Black Tiger shrimp's and freshwater prawns blood cells, works as an oxygen carrier. Low dissolved oxygen conditions can produce hemolysis. This will lead to low oxygen availability in the body, resulting in weakness, lowered disease resistance, hypoxia and eventually death due to viral or bacterial infections. Checks pathogenic microbial multiplication and enable to promote friendly microbes to perform bioremediation.
OxyZen is an advanced dissolved oxygen technology providing higher content of available Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.), at a higher dissolution rate into the water with high stability.
OxyZen is available in cake form and is easy for application to Aquaculture Pond Systems.
OxyZen settles at the pond bottom after its application and creates healthy climate by releasing dissolved oxygen for the growing shrimp, prawn and fish in aquaculture ponds.
The oxidative power of OxyZen improves the cleanness of aquaculture pond bottom by removing waste organic flocks through breakdown and lessens the sludge build up through bioremediation.
OxyZen by its excellent deodourizing performance eliminates malodour in aquaculture ponds as well as off-flavor from shrimp, prawn and fish.
Ultimate benefits of OxyZen
- Breakdown of organic flocks and lessening of sludge build up.
- Improves bottom condition, water coloration there by improving water quality.
- Regulates pH fluctuations.
- Checks pathogenic microbial multiplication and enable to promote friendly microbes to perform bioremediation.
- Eliminates malodour in ponds as well as off-flavor from shrimp, prawn and fish.
Indications:
- Restoration of pond bottom by improving D.O.
- Fast recovery of oxygen levels during severe DO drops.
- Promotion of friendly microbes to perform bioremediation.
- Elimination of malodour in ponds as well as off-flavor.
- Reduction of BOD levels.
- Improvement of moulting frequency in shrimp.
- Improvement in feed conversion.
Composition:
Bio-active Minerals, Probiotics and oxygen release compounds of Monohydrate Sodium salts.
Dosage and Usage :
Shrimp/Prawn/Fish ponds: 20-24 cakes/acre
- Use OxyZen cakes preferably during late evenings to compensate dissolved oxygen depletion that generally occurs at early morning hours.
- Use for once a week whenever pond bottom and water quality deteriorated or according to water quality or as advised by Aquaculture consultant.
Application procedure: Broadcast all the suggested OxyZen cakes to spread uniformly throughout the aquaculture pond bottom.
Presentation: 40 gm x 24 cakes.
