The present invention relates to a consortium of Nitrosomonas eutropha andNitrobacter winogradskyi, which is more effective at removing ammonia andnitrite than the commonly used consortium of Nitrosomonas europea andNitrobacter winogradskyi, particularly in aquaculture such as shrimp ponds.Supplementation of the consortium in aquaculture such as shrimp ponds may leadto an increase in total yield, an increase in size, a decrease in FoodConversion Ratio (less food required per kg of shrimp obtained), and anincrease in total per pond sales.
