Algae & Aquatic Weed Control
Algae & Aquatic Weed Control
PopularLakes, ponds and water features are valuable assets to any property owner. Left unmanaged, they can significantly detract from the true value of a property. Stagnant, nutrient-enriched waters can lead to excessive aquatic vegetation. Marine Biochemists has specialized in the aquatic management business for over 45 years. Our licensed aquatic management professionals are able to assist you with designing a custom management program to meet your aquatic needs and budget. Whether your pond is 1/10 of an acre or you have a 1,000 acre lake project, Marine Biochemists can help you achieve your goals.
Marine Biochemists can specialize treatment programs to combat exotic aquatic species such as Eurasian Watermilfoil or nuisance populations of native aquatic plants and algae utilizing a variety of methods including selective granular applications, broad-spectrum liquid spray application treatment, and precise liquid injection applications.

Nutrient Abatement
(Deactivation and Bacteria Applications)
Nutrient Abatement
(Deactivation and Bacteria Applications)
Excess aquatic growth and “mucky” bottoms can pose major problems for lake and pond owners. Suppressing or eliminating available nutrients, the source of these problems, can be accomplished through a nutrient abatement program. This may include: proper watershed management, nutrient flocculent applications, bacteria applications, and/or aeration. Marine Biochemists can design a nutrient abatement program for your pond or lake needs.

Aeration and Fountains
Aeration and Fountains
PopularMarine Biochemists sells, installs, and services a variety of aeration equipment and fountains. We can custom design a system to meet your aquatic needs and budget. We also offer aeration equipment leasing and lease-to-own programs.
AERATORS
Benefits of Aeration
- Prevention of seasonal fish kills
- De-stratification of the water column
- Elimination of noxious gas build-up caused by anaerobic decay
- Improved water quality
- Reduction of certain nutrient problems through oxygenated bottom interactions
- Increase in organic “muck” decomposition
- Types of Aerators
Compressed-air systems use diffused air to lift water from the bottom of a lake or pond up to the surface. There oxygen is absorbed and decay gases are released to the atmosphere. These are energy efficient for any size body of water. Bottom-mounted, Floating or Attached Horizontal Aerators are ideal for circulating shallow bays/frontages where compressed-air is limited. These types of aerators can keep areas clear of floating plant material (watermeal, duckweed, etc.) and surface debris.
FOUNTAINS
Installing a fountain adds a picturesque aesthetic appeal to your water and provides some aeration benefits depending on the depth of the water. Marine Biochemists works with several fountain manufacturers to provide you the best variety of fountain options including: Aqua Master, Kasco, Aqua Control and Otterbine.
OTHER WATER FEATURES
Contact us for information on the services we provide pertaining to water feature construction and maintenance. We can assist with water features such as: cement fountain ponds, waterfalls, aquascapes, ornamental ponds, and other ornamental aquatic features.

Aquatic Mapping
Aquatic Mapping
PopularMarine Biochemists offers complete aquatic mapping utilizing state-of-the-art hydro acoustic echo sounding equipment. Hydro acoustics uses sound energy to detect objects and contours underwater. Digital echo sounders are integrated with computer processors, GPS (Global Positioning System) data and GIS (geographical information system) software to generate detailed and accurate maps of bathymetry (depth contours and shape), fisheries, bottom sediment type, and/or submersed aquatic plant coverage and height within the water column. Contact us to customize a mapping solution to meet your budget and project objectives.
