Abstract

A number of bacterial biomass combinations were developed and tested at pilot scale and then applied at field scale. They consisted of bacteria capable of degrading feed residues, and mineralizing protein-rich matters. The dose and frequency of application of the bioproduct were investigated. The environmental parameters were investigated to show that the water environment of shrimp breeding ponds was improved and the pathogenic bacteria would be reduced.
