Brine Shrimp Eggs
are the dormancy-eggs (cysts) of Artemia salina, it is a kind of miniature shrimp
(crustacea) which distribute widely and bear high sale. At present more than 500 Artemia
producing areas in the world are known (such as America, China, Iran and Russia). It's
cysts may be conserved very long, and can be hatched as they are needed. The naupii hatch
after 18-30 hours in warm (24-30 degree C) salt water (1.5-3.5 % salt), and possess
abundant protein and fat. Its grown-body hold high nourishment, so Artemia is an excellent
food for various fish and crustaceans. Nutrition Analysis: Protein min. 45 %, Fat min. 15
%, Ash min. 6 %, Fiber max. 2 %, Moisture max. 8 %.
They are available as "Premium Quality" in 425 gram (15 oz) cans (Net Weight),
and 12 cans per case.
Artemia is generally used for feeding the larval and postlarval stages of shrimps and
fishes. The larvae of several species of marine fish, e.g., bass, bream, grouper, and
turbot, can only be offered an Artemia diet after an initial period on a smaller prey,
primarily the rotifer. In contrast to crustacean larvae, marine fish larvae are cultured
on Artemia for a much longer period of time (e.g.: 20-40 days). Artemia cyst consumption
is also among the highest in marine fish larviculture and ranges from 200 to 500 g per
1000 fry produced. Both live and frozen adult Artemia are used as food for aquarium fish
species. Survival, vigor and pigmentation were reported to be significantly improved in
several tropical species.

We deliver
also frozen zooplankton as natural fry feed for all fish species!
This
specially formulated and extruded dry feed with a reddish-brown colour has a well balanced
fatty acid profile and promotes good appetite, fast growth, high survival and fish health.
The extruded feeds are based on raw material of superior quality and are formulated as a
starter and grower feed specially in closed water or recirculation systems, with minimal
phospate content and low nitrogen excretion. The particle sizes are also very stable in
the water and hardly pollute it. The feed is highly energetic which guarantee very low
feed conversion rates. It can be used from the first day on or as a replacement feed of
brine shrimp and zooplankton "artificial plankton". It is suitable for the
production of various fish species such as Salmonids, Percids, Acipenserids, Cyprinids and
other species too. On request, larger pellets (6 or 22 mm), pigmented pellets (Astaxanthin
60 mg/kg) or floating pellets (2,5 and 4,5 mm) are available.
It is available in 25 kg bags, at the following types and sizes.
