Fish Brew Blog

A 2023 study published in Scientia Horticulturae investigated how fish effluents, both water and water plus sludge, affect soil fertility, crop yields, and soil microbial communities when used as organic fertilizers. The researchers compared fish effluent treatments to composted horse manure, a standard organic amendment, while monitoring soil chemistry, plant growth, and microbial profiles.
