Improved Yield, Stock Health, Water Quality & Efficiency
Biocelerator AQ-700 is an aqueous based propriety technology solution that functions as a biostimulator which increases microbiological activity in water. It contains no foreign active bacteria, enzymes, nutrients or other biological components in itself but instead relies on stimulating these biological elements found in the locations where Biocelerator is applied to deliver increased activity.
As a “next generation” biological stimulant, AQ-700 is designed to provide increased profitability in existing aquaculture operations.
Rarely has any such technology undergone such rigorous evaluation by a Government University, to quantify benefits to existing fish and shrimp farming operations.
Biocelerator technology increased survival rates, feed conversion, growth rates and stocking rates whilst improving water quality.
One of the greatest indicators of AQ-700 ability to safely grow healthier tilapia fish, faster, is our results in “off-flavor” testing…. “Zero off-flavor characteristics, that were detectable by smell or taste” (Measured and validated by University controlled testing).
Case Study Testing for AQ-700 in Aquaculture
Brazil has a large and growing Aquaculture Industry which is a major employer in rural communities. It thus engenders Federal Government’s encouragement to develop competitive and sustainable operations.
Biocelerator independent case studies were undertaken in Brazil by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of CEARA-IFCE ARACATI CAMPUS. The testing was supervised by Professor Glacio Souza Araujo, assisted by Undergraduates in Aquaculture namely, Cicero Silva Rodrigues De Assis and Bruno Araujos Dos Santos.
Below are a number of the tests performed and summary outcomes vs control.
Note: Detailed test reports may be viewed upon arrangement with a Biocelerator technical representative.
*Larviculture of Marine Shrimp Litopenaeus vannaei with the application of AQ-700
Summary Results:
*Nursery Phase Oreochromis niloticus Cultivation in Low Salinity Water Dosed with AQ-700 that Stimulates Microbiological Activity in Aquatic Environments
Summary Results:
- Major Reduction in Bottom Sludge
- Increased Water Quality
*The Effect of Stocking Density on Tilapia Pisciculture During The Nursery Phase While Applying AQ-700 to Stimulate the Activity of Microorganisms that Consume Organic Matter
Summary Results:
- Increased Stocking Density, Decreased Biomass,
- Increased Feed Conversion
*The Effect of Stocking Density on The Zootechnical Performance of Nile Tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus, During the Fry Stage in Association with the Application of AQ-700 that Stimulates the Microorganisms that Consume Organic Matter in Water
Summary Results:
- Increased Stocking Density, whilst Maintaining Increased Food Conversion with Increased Dissolved Oxygen and Water Quality
*Off-Flavour Detection in Tilapia Cultivated in Conditions in which AQ-700 Stimulates the Activity of Microorganisms that Reduce Organic Matter.
Summary Results:
- Off-Flavor scores of ZERO from Sensory Analysis
Please Note: Biocelerator trades under various names/brands in different regions
Aquaculture Farming Problems
The problem:
- Water quality is paramount and dictates whether farmed fish or prawn stock dies, survives or thrives
- Farming fish and prawns creates an artificial ‘lagoon’ environment of mass over population.
- By mass populating in a closed water lagoon environment – the water quality becomes contaminated by uneaten food, faeces, urine, dead stock and other pollutants that creates an environment that does not occur in the open ocean or large river systems that can flush away and process these pollutants naturally.
- This results in:
- High death rates in stock
- Lower breeding success rates
- Poor quality flesh taste
- Excess bio mass (sludge).
- Greatly reduced stock sales and stock health quality
- Increased costs to the farmer of biomass removal and downtime by draining lagoons to remove sludge.
- Transportation issues of live transport that further decrease survival rates and stock health
All of these unnatural factors disrupt and create an imbalance of processes that nature provides
Biocelerator restores this imbalance
