Skretting is expanding its AquaCare portfolio with a new water care solution for fish and shrimp pond farming.
AquaCare Mineral Balance, the second offering in Skretting’s range of water care products, is a mineral combination said to provide high bioavailability of macro and trace minerals helping to ensure that pond systems have stable, nutrient-rich water that is also ionically balanced.
“As the name suggests, this product aims to make sure that the balance between major minerals is at an optimum level and can be easily absorbed in order to support important stages in aquatic species lifecycle,” said Marita Sirevaag, global product manager AquaCare at Skretting.
The product will first launch in India before rolling out to customers in Vietnam and Indonesia. “In developing this product we talked with Skretting customers throughout the region and beyond,” said Joao Sendao, product development manager Asia. “The resulting solution offers the ideal mix of essential macro and trace minerals for the optimal survival and growth of shrimp, even at low salinities.”
The launch of AquaCare Mineral Balance follows Skretting’s first water care product, AquaCare Control, a probiotic bioremediation solution that is said to improve water quality and increase productivity.
