EPICIN 3W

Product Description

EPICIN-3W is a natural microbial ecosystem with added stabilizers and growth media for detoxifying aquaculture grow-out ponds. It eliminates water-fouling waste products such as ammonia, nitrites and hydrogen sulfide, thereby lowering stress and providing a healthier environment for aquatic animal growth. It also improves animal health and disease resistance by creating a probiotic environment.

Benefits

Effectively and rapidly reduces from pond water dangerous levels of ammonia,mitrite and sulfide
pollutants.
Establishes a strong natural bacteria culture in the pond that suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria such as Vibrio sp.
Increases animal survival and yields. Allows higher stocking densities.
Reduces need for water exchanges providing a more bio-secure environment.
Leaves behind cleaner pond soil reducing pond renovation costs and downtime.
Mineralizes organic matter to produce nutrients for pond algae that feed the shrimp.
Mineralization reduces the need for traditional chemical fertilization.
Is formulated for pond-side grow-up to deliver maximum microbial cells economically.

Composition

Contains non-toxic, natural microbial cultures and enzymes with added stabilizers and growth
stimulants on an inert carbohydrate carrier.

Treatment Suggestions

(1) Fill a clean container with 25 litres fresh water or treated pond water.
(2) Add the required amount of EPICIN-3W from the table.
(3) Start either continuous agitation or aeration with an air stone.
(4) Mix or aerate mixture for 15 hours.
(5) Broadcast immediately over pond surface; do not let hydration mixture sit more than 2 hours before use.

The following treatment rates are suggested as starting points:

Stocking Density (PL/m2)	10-20	30-40	Periodicity
Days of Culture	Epicin-3W Dosage (gm/ha)		Every
10-40	250	500	10 days
41-60	500	750	10 days
61-90	750	1000	8 days
91-120	1000	1250	8 days
>120	1250	1500	6 days

If the unionized ammonia level rises above 0.4 ppm, immediately apply an extra dose of EPICIN-3W.

For a heavy Vibrio sp. infestation, add twice the normal dose of EPICIN-3W when infestation is first noticed and again each day for three days in row.
