Frequently Asked Questions

Fishways Nati-Cap capsules are innovative biofiltration devices designed to optimize water quality in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).

Each capsule contains a proprietary blend of beneficial bacteria that facilitate the conversion of harmful ammonia into less toxic substances, such as nitrite and nitrate.

Fishways capsules work by introducing specialized nitrifying bacteria into the aquaculture system. These bacteria rapidly establish and maintain a stable nitrogen cycle, effectively removing ammonia from the water.

By promoting biological filtration, Fishways capsules help to create a healthier environment for aquatic species.

Fishways capsules offer numerous benefits for aquaculture operations, including:

• Improved water quality: By efficiently removing ammonia and other nitrogenous compounds, Fishways capsules help to maintain optimal water parameters for fish health and growth.
• Reduced reliance on traditional biofilters: Fishways capsules replace or supplement conventional biofiltration methods, simplifying system design and reducing operational costs.
• Enhanced fish performance: With cleaner water and minimized stress, fish raised in RAS systems with Fishways capsules exhibit improved growth rates, feed conversion efficiency, and overall health.
• Environmental sustainability: By promoting biological filtration, Fishways capsules minimize water wastage and reduce the discharge of pollutants into the environment, supporting more sustainable aquaculture practices.

Yes, Fishways capsules are designed to function effectively across a wide range of water temperatures.

The bacteria within the capsules are selected and formulated to thrive in both warm and cold water environments, ensuring consistent performance regardless of seasonal variations.
