What is biofilm on pond tarpaulin?
Biofilm on pond tarpaulin is typically an iridescent, oily coating that forms on the surface of the water. It consists of a mix of dead algae, protozoa, and non-decomposed organic matter, which occurs when there is an excess of biological matter in the water that the existing bacteria cannot decompose. This phenomenon is more common in water with a lower pH, meaning it is slightly acidic, and tends to worsen in warmer temperatures, particularly above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are the harmful to shrimp affected of biofilm on shrimp pond tarpaulins?
Biofilm in shrimp pond tarpaulins can be harmful as it may harbor pathogens that could infect shrimp, affect water quality, and reduce oxygen levels critical for shrimp health.
Biofilm accumulation on shrimp pond tarpaulins poses a threat to the digestion of shrimp.
How to prevent biofilm formation on pond liners?
To prevent biofilm formation on pond liners, it is recommended to manage the accumulation of organic material, install surface aeration to improve water circulation, and apply water clarifiers such as beneficial bacteria to remove debris. Additionally, raising the pH of the water with soda ash or lime can provide good control of biofilms, and employing saccharomyces cerevisiae in conjunction with enzymatic products may also be effective.
Mixture of enzymes and saccharomyces
A combination of enzymes and Saccharomyces can be used to prevent biofilm formation on pond liners.
Mixture of Bacillus strains
A mix of Bacillus strains can be utilized to inhibit biofilm development on pond liners.
