Ammonia is a gas of great concern in aquaculture. Gaseous ammonia is primarily released from the gills of Fish, Prawns and Shrimps as a metabolic waste from protein breakdown. Disease susceptibility also increases in fishes exposed to chronic ammonia intoxication. Since aquatic animals perform all their bodily functions in water, good water quality in aquaculture system should essentially be maintained, particularly in reference to ammonia concentration.
The natural product Ammo Free containing steroidal saponins and other active compounds has inherent ability to absorb ammonia that helps to reduce ammonia levels and other noxious compounds which leads to an increase in dissolved oxygen concentration with reduction in BOD and COD levels. Surfactant action of steroidal saponin compounds helps in the bacterial nutrient utilization that digest the waste materials in the pond bottom.
