Orb-3 - Model IRB800 -Iron Pyrite Removal Bacteria for Aquaculture Ponds
IRB800 is a concentrated product with a unique species of bacteria that is proven to remove excess iron pyrite contamination in aquaculture ponds. Excessive levels of pyrite have long been associated with low productivity and crop failure in fish and shrimp culture. In aquaculture, the excessive levels of pyrite negatively affect the respiratory health of animals. Pyrite clogs gills, causing poor oxygen absorption, and hence slow growth, increased stress and mortalities.
IRB800 is a laboratory-fermented Bacillus spp in a rich mineral amino acid carrier intended for remediation to remove excess pyrites in pond water and soils.
IRB800 bacteria breaks down pyrite compounds and releases elemental iron (from pyrites) which is then taken up by algae for speedy replication (or bloom). Pyrite mitigation in culture ponds using IRB800 will eliminate Clogged Gill Syndrome and as a side benefit, a stable algae population.
- Dry concentrated pyrite removing bacteria (low dose, low-cost)
- Promotes rapid healthy algae blooms reducing stress & increasing pond waters nutritional values
- Maximum oxygen absorption efficiency in animals when coupled with optimum aeration, resulting in increased growth rates
- Achieves higher production volume and retains pond sustainability over many cycles
