In Mali, the aquaculture industry faces severe challenges due to extreme seasonal temperature fluctuations and high alkalinity in the Niger River basin. The lack of professional nutrition fish feed often leads to stunted growth and increased vulnerability to pathogens among tilapia and catfish populations.
Water management remains a critical pain point. Without a reliable water quality stabilizer, farmers struggle with ammonia spikes and oxygen depletion during the hot season, which directly triggers mass mortality events across rural ponds.
Furthermore, the prevalence of bacterial infections necessitates the cautious use of sulfonamides. However, the market currently suffers from a shortage of high-purity API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), leading to inconsistent treatment efficacy and antibiotic resistance.
