Tea Seed Powder/meal is made from squeezed camellia seeds. It is a good poison for fish, it is the most popular treatment for killing fish in sea fish pools.Tea Saponin, the element in Tea Seed Powder,/meal its main ingredient is a complex sugar with the empirical chemical formula C32H54O18, having 22 ester radicals, which are keys in toxicity, it can kill fish by causing high haemolysis, but it is only poisonous to fish, it is safe to other advanced animals. It is also poisonous to shellfish and clam worm but it doesn't kill shrimps unless the level of Tea Saponin is 40 times as much as it is to fish.

Experience tells us that the lethal solution of Refined Tea Saponin is 0.5-1g per cubic metre for fish, 3g per cubic metre for clam worm, 40g per cubic metre for shrimp, so usually we use 1g per cubic metre in a clean pool to kill fish. Tea Seed Powder can accelerate shrimps to cast off their skins. Some shrimp fishermen use 10-15g per cubic metre Tea Saponin in that situation.
It is often used to kill conches. It is also used to kill earthworms in the corn or vegetable fields. Tea Saponin is good for improving the quality of water, it can kill the insects underneath the grass of golf courses or lawns.
