Treatment
Bacta-Pur biotechnologies are highly concentrated; the guaranteed minimal
cell count exceeds 10x11 cells/mL. Compare this to any other brand, and you will
appreciate the concentration of Bacta-Pur products. Small regular doses are very
effective.
Ponds are treated with a
combination of two biotechnologies (Bacta-Pur N3000 and Bacta-Pur XLG) and Bacta-Pur
CARRIER 1, which transports bacteria through the water column to the sediments.
The two biotechnologies work together to produce clearer water, control ammonia
and nitrite, remove organic sediments and to convert pollutants into food for
invertebrates and fishes.
One
Litre Bacta-Pur XLG & 2 Litres Bacta-Pur N3000 / 1,000,000 Litres pond water
(1) / week. The application technique consists of preactivating Bacta-Pur XLG
for 24 hours; Bacta-Pur ACTIVATORs 1&2 with precise instructions are attached
to each bottle. The weekly dose of Bacta-Pur is mixed with 1 kg of Bacta-Pur CARRIER
1(2) per 10 litres of Bacta-Pur and stirred for 30 minutes. The mixture is then
diluted with 10-100 X the volume of pond water and is sprayed or splashed over
the surface of the pond.

The beneficial microorganisms in Bacta-Pur biotechnologies convert wastes in ponds
into bacterial biomass, producing food for higher life forms including fishes.
Symptoms
- poor flavour of fish
due to poor water quality
- fish
stressed, many diseases
- poor
conversion efficiency
- excessive
nitrogen and phosphorus in effluent
|
Benefices
du traitment - improve
flavour by improving water quality
and biodegrading geosmin and other causes
of off-flavour - reduce
stress and disease susceptibility
- improve
conversion efficiency, transform pollutants into natural and beneficial food
- reduce
nitrogen and phosphorus in effluent

Settling Ponds
are treated with Bacta-Pur XLG to solubilize sludge and remove soluble pollutants.
Raceways are treated with Bacta-Pur N3000 to control ammonia and nitrite.
Phosphorus reduction in effluents has also been reported.
| | Four
Litres Bacta-Pur XLG / 1,000,000 Litres settling pond water(1) / week. The weekly
dose of Bacta-Pur XLG is preactivated, mixed with 1 kg of Bacta-Pur CARRIER 1(2)
per 10 litres of Bacta-Pur and stirred for 30 minutes. The mixture is then diluted
with 10-100 X the volume of pond water and is sprayed or splashed over the surface
of the pond.
An alternative to the use of Bacta-Pur CARRIER 1, in small
ponds, is to pump the diluted mixture into the sediments or to simply pour the
mixture down a pipe the end of which is resting on the bottom. If the pipe is
used the pipe should be flushed with pond water before withdrawing it from the
pond. This will assure that the Bacta-Pur is released in the sediments. Calculate
pond volume by multiplying the averages of the length, the width, and the depth.
1m3 = 1000 L, 1ft3 = 28.3 L. Other useful conversion factors: 1 kg = 2.2 lb.;
1 L = 0.264 gal US.

Needs Form
It
is important, in lake health management, to assure the continual presence of oxygen
at the sediment-water interface for the survival of the bottom dwelling higher
life forms such as invertebrates and fishes. Systems to
aerate ponds are a most cost-effective means to assure a well-oxygenated lake.

| Background
Poor water quality is a
major stress to all aquatic animals. Stresses are additive and increase the susceptibility
of the animals to disease while decreasing their growth rate and feed conversion
efficiency. To say that antibiotics and bactericidal products are essential is
to admit that adequate water quality is not being maintained. It is much easier
to prevent diseases than to try to cure them. Disinfectants may help avoid some
diseases, but they treat only symptoms and not the cause of the problems. The
Bacta-Pur System can help improve water quality, reduce stress to the animals,
improve growth and feed conversion and reduce the need for and expenses of drugs.
Experimental work
with fish has shown that use of Bacta-Pur increased production by over 37%.
(Ehrlich et al. 1991; A diagnostic and ecological approach to the purification
of sewage, toxic substances and water bodies; IN: Ecological Engineering for Waste
Water Treatment, Proceedings (C. Etnier & B. Guterstam eds) Bokskogen, Box
7048, S-402-31, Gothenburg, Sweden. pp. 95-109).
Similar benefits
of bacterial augmentation have been found for growth and survival of prawn and
crab larvae. (Maeda & Nogami, 1989; Some aspects of the biocontrolling
method in aquaculture. IN: Current Topics in Marine Biotechnology (S. Miyachi,
I. Karube & Y. Ishida, eds), Japan. Soc. Mar. Biotechnol., Tokyo, pp. 395-398).
These authors also showed that regular additions of beneficial bacteria
reduced pathogens (e.g. Vibrio spp.) in the culture water.
Regular
use of Bacta-Pur has also been shown to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in trout
pond effluents.
Drugs cannot improve growth and feed conversion
efficiency nor can they be used indefinitely to compensate for declining water
quality. If proper attention is not paid to the maintenance of good water quality,
decreasing returns from fish ponds are inevitable. | |
