Introduction
Calix’s Aqua-Cal+ is a special formulation of Magnesium Hydroxide enhanced with Calcium. It improves the quality of water and thereby promoting better and healthy aquatic life. Aqua-Cal+ is non-toxic, non-corrosive, safe to handle and environment-friendly.
A trial was taken at the shrimp pond, where a comparison was done between a Control Pond that followed standard practices as opposed to dosing of AQUA-Cal +1 and AQUA-Cal +2 in two other ponds. A comparison of the water quality and shrimp yield in all the three ponds was performed. The ponds treated with AQUA-Cal+ showed a significant improvement in water quality and generated a healthier shrimp yield.
