Method for improving quality of aquaculture pond water

A method for treating water in a growing pond used in an aquaculture application, the method comprising:

• generating a batch of active bacteria solution in a biogenerator around once every 12 to 36 hours over the course of a treatment cycle, wherein the biogenerator is located near the growing pond used in the aquaculture application and wherein the active bacteria are useful for remediating the water by degrading organic waste and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria;
• adding each batch of active bacteria solution from the biogenerator to the water in the growing pond;
• providing a nitrification enhancement agent comprising an agent that increases the alkalinity of the water, an agent that provides increased surface area for the growth of biofilms, or both;
• adding the nitrification enhancement agent to the water in the growing pond contemporaneously with at least one of the batches of active bacteria;
• and
• wherein the active bacteria is selected from the group consisting of the genera Bacillus, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Lueconostoc, Pediococcus, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Megasphaera, Pseudomonas and Propionibacterium.
