Abstract:

Where there is water there is bacteria. Determining the dominant species of bacteria and their role in your aquatic community is critical to improving cultural conditions and reducing susceptibility to disease and opportunistic pathogens. Whether you grow extensively, intensively, biofloc, or not, understanding the importance of managing your microbiology is paramount to the health and development of your crop. If you desire improved feed conversion, growth, and yield, and/or improved water quality, reduced organic load, environmental contamination, and bad odors, managing your microbial community can be the solution. Increasing yield and profits is most easily accomplished when you understand your microbiological conditions and utilize the appropriate species to improve cultural practices. Don?t leave your microbiological community to chance.
