Early testing and experimentation indicate Orykta™ may provide major breakthroughs in aquaculture. It has also been noted that prawns and fish alike readily feed directly on Orykta™.

Tests performed in Sabah, East Malaysia, showed that when Orykta™ was introduced to pond water:

• Algae and ammonia buildup was reduced.
• Pond water remained clear.
• Desired pH levels were better maintained.
• The need for water replacement was reduced significantly.

and...

• Prawns appeared more active and healthier.
• Plankton growth increased.
• Prawns had better shell structure.
• Prawns reached market size an average of two weeks early.

A Cure for White Spot Disease?

White Spot Disease is a shrimp disorder that can wipe out an entire harvest. Orykta™ may be the long sought after cure for this devastating shrimp disorder. Reports from the field are that no shrimp ponds that have had Orykta™ added to them were stricken by the deadly White Spot Disease, while adjacent ponds not treated with Orykta™ were desecrated by the disease. In practice, growers report that a single application of Orykta™ is sufficient for one growing season with no additional remedying substances needed.
