Ammonia reaches the pond water as a by-product of metabolism by animals and by decomposition of organic matter by bacteria. The toxicity of ammonia nitrogen is attributed mainly to unionized form. As the concentration in water increases ammonia excretion by aquatic organism diminishes and levels of ammonia in blood other tissues increases. The result is an elevation in blood pH and adverse effects on enzyme catalyzed reactions and membrane stability. Ammonia increases oxygen consumption by tissues, damages gills and reduces the ability of blood to transport oxygen.

MODE OF ACTION :

Yucca extract product has the inherent ability to absorb ammonia and also inhibit the urease enzyme which is essential in converting urea to ammonia. This steroidal saponin compound also contains surfactants to allow for better nutrient utilization by the bacteria that digest the waste material in pond bottoms. ODOCLEAR-LIQ research has consistently reported reductions in the levels of nitrogenous compounds such as ammonia. It has this effect in the digestive tract of the shrimp as well as in the pond. The reduction in intestinal ammonia slows down tissue turnover in the gut and allows for better nutrient utilization by the shrimp.
