July
18, 2003: "In regard to the preliminary outcome of the trial
using the products Vitazyme and Nutripak, I must state that the
results are acceptable as growth promoters of natural productivity.
We have observed an increase in the bentonic growth of a diverse
microalgae population such as diatoma, navicula, amphiphora, nitzchia,
oscilatoria, and anabaena, as well as the presence of nematodes,
poliquetos, and other phytoplankton genera and bentonic organisms ...
Nutrition is a key factor for better [shrimp] production. A
biological inoculation in well-treated pond soils will always be an
excellent mechanism."

Oro in Ecuador, is performing some trials using a few products to
assure the systems's natural productivity. Enzymes, specific
proteins, used to accelerate chemical reactions, are good complements
in cell metabolism. With this rationale, we are using Vitazyme
for soils in shrimp farming. In addition, we are using Nutripak
in order to inoculate microorganisms (in particular bacteria) and to
supplement micronutrients. We suspect that the combined use of
both products would generate biological reactions with the subsequent
contribution to increased productivity of the environment.
Preliminary observations have allowed to determined that when these
biological reactions take place with the use of these sorts of natural
products, whether enzymatic or micronutrient or microorganism or
organic compounds, soil productivity is substantially increased.
It has been observed in shrimp ponds an increased presence in quantity
and variety of diverse microorganisms with the use of such propagation
methods."
