The objective of this trial is to demonstrate how Tritan (18 pieces were given to AQD) can decrease mortality rates, improve water clarity in tanks/ponds, improve product taste, reduce tank/pond odors, impact rates of feed conversion, increase size/weight of the subject, and/or promote uniformity of size, weight, color, etc. The test trial will be conducted on grouper, shrimp, mud crab, abalone, microalgae and seaweeds.
