The GES aquaculture system technologies have been used successfully in commercial aquaculture throughout the world.  Typical applications include trout and salmon hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest, catfish farming in the southern United States, shrimp farming in South America and the Far East and aquarium applications worldwide.

GES aquaculture system technologies have been approved for use in food processing plants by the United States Department of Agriculture.  GES aquaculture system technologies are used to digest organic buildup from food and fecal matter, remove soluble organic pollutants and reduce ammonia through biological nitrification.

Successful commercial aquaculture involves raising the maximum number of healthy on-flavor fish in confined systems.  Increasing fish density causes potential problems of ammonia and nitrite toxicity and sludge build-up.  The advantages of the GES aquaculture system technologies include:

The two major advantages of the GES aquaculture system technologies are improved nitrification and reduced organic sludge build-up.

Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia to nitrate.  Nitrification is a two step process.  Ammonia is converted to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate.  Both ammonia and nitrite are toxic to aquatic animals making nitrification one of the most important biological processes in an aquatic system.  The GES aquaculture system technologies include the bacteria nitrosomonas and nitrobacter which are critical components of biological nitrification.

Sludge accumulation results from excess feed and fecal matter.  Sludge build-up often causes off flavor in fish.  The GES aquaculture system technologies contains bacteria that digest sludge and other organic materials.  This dramatically improves overall water quality and minimizes off flavor and disease.
