BioGen

BioGen

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Biogen is a primary water colouring agent that suitable for all larval stage. Biogen develops Amber (Brown) colour when mixed with water. Biogen comforts the PL’s from stress during larval rearing and transportation. Biogen enhances the survival rate of PL’s and reduces the cannibalism. Biogen balances the PH and controls the osmotic regulation process in all aquatic animals.

INGRIDENTS:

Natural Pigments, Glucose and Additives

DOSAGE:

BIOGEN can be mixed with clean water and spread evenly in the hatchery tanks.

For larval rearing add 3 – 4ppm once daily, preferably after water exchange.

For larval & fingerlings transportation add 25ppm BIOGEN in clean packing water.

The ppm level can be increased or decreased depending on required water colour.

STORAGE:

Store in dark & cool dry place.

Coastal region has high humidity, Refrigeration is best.

AQUI-S

AQUI-S

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

AQUI-S is a water dispersible liquid anaesthetic for finfish, crustacea and abalone. AQUI-S is registered with a zero withdrawal period and can be used for all fish husbandry and transport applications, including rested harvesting of fish.

Sedating fish with AQUI-S prior to and during a handling event will minimise physical activity by the animal, reduce the metablic rate and mitigate the stress response by minimising the release of stress hormones. Consequently fish have improved condition and survivability after handling. Using AQUI-S for rested harvesting results in improved quality and consistency in the product.

Most fish management practices require an AQUI-S concentration of between 15 and 20 ppm in an immersion bath to achieve suitable anaesthetisation levels. For most live fish transportation situations an AQUI-S concentration between 1 and 5 ppm is suitable.

Registered with zero withdrawal period.

Effective at low concentrations.

Wide margin of safety.

Fish show fast recovery.

Gentle and humane in action.

APPLICATIONS:

Live fish transportation.

Fish husbandry.

Rested harvesting.

USE:

AQUI-S is registered with a zero withdrawal period allowing i t to be used to sedate fish destined for human consumption.The anaesthetic can be mixed directly with water to form a stock solution. This is then dispersed in the water column.

PROPERTIES:

APPEARANCE -Clear viscous yellow liquid.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT- Isoeugenol.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT PROPORTION -50 %.

SUITABLE DILUENT-Freshwater.

PREFURAN

PREFURAN

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

PREFURAN stands alone as a safe, effective and broad spectrum prophylaxis and therapy for diseases of fishes and other aquatic animals.
PREFURAN is a highly strategic treatment because it is rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted from aquatic animals. When administered as indicated,PREFURAN leaves no detectable tissue residues after bathing in fresh water for several hours.

CHEMISTRY:

PREFURAN is a 10% extruded compression of nifurpirinol in a carbohydrate base.

Other nomenclatures including: Furpirinol, Furpyrinol, P-7138 and Furanace.

The empirical formula is C12H10N2O4

The molecular weight is 246.22 a.m.u.

The melting point is 170-171oC

The color is Pale Yellow

Aqueous solubility at 25 degrees C (100% active basis) is 10.3 ppm

PHARMACOLOGY:

PREFURAN brand name nifurpirinol 10% has been shown to undergo rapid absorption across the gill space in finned fishes, shellfish and eels. Significantly, the drug is rapidly distributed to the organism’s tissues and achieves therapeutic levels within minutes after bathing has commenced.PREFURAN is rapidly excreted from treated animals leaving no detectable residues within several hours after introduction to fresh water.The antibacterial action of PREFURAN is believed to be related to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of DNA within bacterial cells. This Mechanism is common among the Nitrifuran family of drugs. The ability of PREFURAN to kill fungi and protozoan parasites such as Saprolegnia adn ichthyopthirius may be related, but has been exclusively established.PREFURAN is a highly strategic treatment because it is rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted from aquatic animals. When administered as indicated,PREFURAN leaves no detectable tissue residues after bathing in fresh water for several hours.

SPECIES: Marine and freshwater fishes, shellfish, eels, etc.
DISEASES: Bacterial infections of Aeromonas (Hydrophila, Salmonicida, etc.)
Bacterial infections of Vibrio Anguillarum (Vibriosis)
Bacterial infections of Chondrococcus/Flexobacter Columnaris
Fungal infections of Saprolegnia
Parasitic infections of Ichthyopthirius Multifillis – “Ich” or white spot.
For general prophylaxis of surface abrasions, wounds and lesions.

ADMINISTRATION AND DOSAGE:

Before prophylaxis or treatment is undertaken it is important to recall that the efficiency of a given procedure will vary among species. Additionally, differences in water parameters including temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia level, Ph hardness, as well as other will affect treatment. Therefore, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE TREATMENT ENVIRONMENT AS SIMILAR AS POSSIBLE TO THE HABITAT. Observe the following rules:

Temperature of treatment bath should be similar to habitat.

Aerate treatment solutions to maintain a favourable dissolved oxygen level.

Test several fish before doing large groups.

Observe the dosage outlined below.

If edible fish are to be treated, a minimum 5 day withdrawal before slaughter is suggested.
