Over the past thirty years, Australia has experienced a significant rise in seafood demand, with consumer needs now surpassing what domestic production can supply. This demand continues to escalate.

Intensified aquaculture farming has become a prevalent strategy. This move aims to address the challenges posed by diseases such as Amoebic Gill Disease and White Spot Disease. Key to the success of these advanced aquaculture systems is the strategic application of selected, specific water beneficial bacteria that play critical roles in nitrification and denitrification processes, and which are feasible for routine use in water treatment.
