Aquaculture Industry: Stop Algae, Reduce Disease & Fish Kills, & increase profitability

The Hidden Cost of Algae in Aquaculture

Unchecked algae growth in aquaculture systems depletes crucial dissolved oxygen, significantly increases fish stress levels, and weakens their immune responses. This cascade of adverse effects inevitably leads to slower growth rates, higher mortality figures, and frequent, devastating disease outbreaks. In increasingly warm waters, particularly those consistently above 20°C, the emergence of harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) compounds this already severe threat, often producing toxins. Furthermore, the persistent accumulation of algae on nets and critical infrastructure dramatically accelerates biofouling, clogs essential filters, and substantially raises operational expenditures. Without reliable, proactive aquaculture algae control, operations face the grim reality of widespread fish kills, economically damaging harvests, and potential, costly compliance violations. These risks severely erode profit margins and threaten vital certifications, ultimately jeopardising long-term viability in a highly competitive and environmentally sensitive market.
