In aquaculture-farming operations, one of the primary wastes of concern is nitrogen, which appears as ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia is excreted by animals and also arises from decomposing organic solids such as uneaten feed. This ammonia can be removed from the water directly via assimilation by heterotrophic bacteria, algae and plants. Ammonia can also be removed from ponds and aquaculture systems via nitrification. This is a two-step process performed by autotrophic bacteria called nitrifiers. Ammonia is converted to nitrite, and nitrite is then converted to nitrate. Compared to nitrate, both ammonia and nitrite are extremely toxic to shrimp/ fish. Nitrate toxicity is more of an issue for shrimp / fish producers who are raising shrimp / fish in lower-salinity waters approaching freshwater conditions. At lower salinities, shrimp have to put significant energy into regulating their osmotic pressure levels to compensate for the reduced saline environment. This is a stress to them, so when additional stress in the form of high nitrate levels is introduced, the shrimp cannot handle it well. Considering the above consequences, Novagen Synbiotics Pvt. Ltd., art of Research Development formulated NOVANITE for better and sustainable Aquaculture practices.
