In order to raise healthy, fast growing fish, they need to provide the fish with an environment that is as stress free as possible. The green water helps them achieve that goal. When the baby fry are stocked into the grow-out ponds, their primary source of food is tiny zooplankton, which feeds on the phytoplankton (green water). As the fish grow they increasingly depend on supplemental feeding. As any fish keeper should know, increased feeding results in increased waste production from the fish. Here again, the green water saves the day. The phytoplankton, along with increasing populations of bacteria, utilize the fish waste as food, controling the damaging amonia and nitrite build-up. Each pond is it's own little eco-system. Keeping those systems in balance is one of the secrets to producing a healthy, quality fish that can withstand the severe stress of harvest, sorting and shipping that is necessary to get the fish to the end user, YOU.
