Our mission is to increase aquaculture productivity and profitability by providing innovative biological solutions that improve marine life health and wellness.
The exceptionally high surface area of 2.1 million m2 per m3 of ProBio media promotes the formation of large bacteria colonies in water ecosystems. ProBio media supports bacterial colonization, including aerobic bacteria for nitrification on outer oxygenated surfaces and anaerobic bacteria for denitrification on inner oxygen-depleted surfaces. Beneficial bacteria eliminate ammonia, pathogens, and other organics to maintain a healthy aquaculture environment
We are improving aquaculture in a way that can impact the world, which is why we focus on natural ways to rebalance and sustain marine ecosystems. Aquaculture can efficiently provide high-quality, affordable, and sustainably sourced fish with the right technology and approach.
Nature has a remarkable way of regulating itself, and microorganisms such as marine bacteria play a vital role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems. In aquaculture, these microorganisms are the key to unlocking inexpensive and accessible practices while providing optimal fish health.
Finding the perfect balance between speed, quality, and inexpensive resources is critical for feeding communities and sustaining local economies. Our system maximizes fish growth and minimizes waste, making it a promising step toward protein-rich alternatives becoming globally accessible.
The Human Impact
We here at the BioClear team are passionate about improving aquaculture in a way that can change the world. It is our goal that the work we do today will nourish the world for a healthier and more sustainable tomorrow.
Our product is made of a porous nano-ceramic material that is infused with a proprietary blend of beneficial bacteria, known as the ProBio Media. ProBio Media has been used for the last 15 years in water purification and water body remediation worldwide. We are now introducing it to fish farmers and the aquaculture sector.
We believe that with the right technology and approach, aquaculture can offer an incredible opportunity to produce large amounts of accessible and affordable protein-rich food. Our efficient and eco-friendly practices help fish farmers increase their ROI by reducing costs, minimizing waste, and maximizing the growth, health, and quality of their fish. In high-density aquaculture controlled water quality is crucial.
Our solutions utilize the natural ways that the Earth maintains itself and its own way to remove waste: Microorganisms – the original recycler. We practice bioremediation, which uses microorganisms or other forms of life to consume and break down environmental pollutants. In this case, the pollutant is excess phosphorus and nitrogen from fish and food waste which causes an imbalance in water chemistry.
Residual food and fecal matter
Metabolic by-products
Wastes produced during molting
Collapsing algae bloom
Effects of Successful Bioremediation:
Ammonia and Nitrite are kept low ( below 0.5 mg/L)
Enhance denitrification to convert nitrate to nitrogen gas
Maximize sulfide oxidation to reduce H2S accumulation
Maximize carbon oxidation to CO2, to minimize sludge
Improved water quality (faster growth, lower mortality)
Fight disease by using probiotics and eliminate the need for antibiotics
The ProBio Media works because the porous material offers 100 times more surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow. This allows more effective control of ammonia and other contaminants in the water that weaken fish while providing probiotics to help prevent disease. Cleaner water results in healthier aquatic life, faster growth, less mortality, and reduced feed costs. All this provides a quick payback and less contamination discharged into the environment.
Only through collaboration with others can we continue to develop and support innovations in aquaculture and expand our reach. Thanks to our product’s flexibility and adaptability we’re able to supply fisheries and fisherfolk around the world with custom solutions no matter the size. Our worldwide reach includes Ecuador, China, the USA, and more, and continues to grow. We are continually seeking partners in academia as we continue to innovate in the realm of microbiology. We partner with leaders in industry to inoculate proven probiotics in our nano media and to improve their efficiency.
The Microbiome
Nature has a Remarkable Way of Regulating Itself
Marine bacteria play a vital role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems. In aquaculture, these microorganisms are the key to unlocking cost-effective and accessible practices for optimal fish health. Marine bacteria break down waste, reduce harmful pathogens, and recycle nutrients, which promotes healthy fish growth. This is The Microbiome.
By harnessing the power of these microorganisms, aquaculture farmers can reduce their reliance on antibiotics and other chemicals, making their practices more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Cultivating a productive microbiome in an already existing ecosystem is the keystone to a more sustainable and efficient aquaculture industry.
So Where Do We Step in?
The ProBio Media:
ProBio Media is a unique porous nanoceramic with an exceptionally high surface area that supports an immense amount of beneficial bacteria colonies. Its >80% porosity allows water to flow through, delivering nutrients to the growing bacteria. Flow through the media carries these microbes into the water column, bringing them to marine creatures like fish or shrimp. These colonies help to create healthy and balanced water for marine creatures by speeding up nature’s way of removing waste products from water without chemicals. ProBio Media is used to maintain a high microbial population in the water. This allows for the formation of biofilms on the surfaces of the media and the production of beneficial bacteria needed for bioremediation.
ProBio Media contains a proprietary bacterial blend that includes different types of Bacillus bacteria, providing a wide range of benefits for aquaculture when used properly. These bacterial blends will naturally digest decaying organic material such as fish waste, decaying algae, uneaten food, and other organic matter, which naturally reduces the nutrient load. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of Bacillus-based products in aquaculture, displaying an improvement in water quality and fish yield with a lower mortality rate using these bacteria.
Bacillus bacteria thrive on decaying organic matter and digest proteins and carbohydrates using enzymes. When ProBio media is used in already established bodies of water, there is sufficient organic matter to sustain the heterotrophic population. The bacteria remove many wastes such as residual food and fecal matter, metabolic by-products (ammonia, nitrite, etc.), fertilizer-derived wastes, waste produced during molting, and collapsing algal blooms. It also breaks down fats, oils, and similar compounds.
The media can support many species of bacteria, including aerobic microbes for nitrification and anaerobic microbes for denitrification. You can achieve visibly clearer water with this naturally super-charged microbiome enhancer, meaning a reduction in organic waste and fewer water changes. Furthermore, known species of bacteria can be seeded in the media, including species that strengthen the gut health of fish which then improves the digestibility of feed, reducing feed conversion ratios. This all contributes to improving water quality and fish health while generating quick ROI with a reduction in energy demand.
