AMSARVEDA AQUA-PROTECT: A natural microbicidal.

AQUAPROTECT is a new generation microbicidal of natural origin. AQUAPROTECT is an
innovative potent, effective, safe and powerful pond sterilizer. Commercial Shrimp and Fish
farms are faced with serious challenges. Diseases can cause serious problems on fish/shrimp
farms. They may decimate commercial stocks or make a farmer’s products unmarketable. The
discovery of exotic diseases on aquaculture farms can trigger huge financial losses.
AQUAPROTECT helps prevent the spread and outbreak of the diseases in aquaculture, the
direct and effective method is to reduce the amount of pathogenic bacteria in the
aquaculture water.

Main causes of disease in farm fish
There are several causes of disease that may affect the commercial aquaculture projects
directly or may continue to cause disease problems. Basically, any factor which causes stress
or difficulty to the shrimp/fish decreases its resistance to disease and increases the chance
of disease problems occurring.
The three main causes of disease are:
 improper feeding
 stress through extreme or toxic condition
 attack by disease organisms
Shrimp/Fish are not fed properly: nutritional diseases become more frequent as the culture
system becomes more intensive and the fish obtain less of their nutrients from natural food
organisms.
Shrimp/Fish are stressed by being exposed to an extreme or a toxic condition
Rough and/or excessive handling, for example when harvesting overcrowding and/or
behavioural stresses.
 unsuitable water temperature
 lack of dissolved oxygen
 changes in pH towards extreme values
 presence of toxic gases such as ammonia or hydrogen sulphide
 toxic factors in artificial food, illogical natural plant-based ingredients (Plant saponins
are toxic to fish/shrimp yet most herbal companies do not understand the
association of saponins and fish poison), fungal toxins in stored foods, and pesticide
