Brine Shrimp
Brine shrimp (Artemia) are small crustaceans used extensively as live or frozen food for aquarium fish, especially marine larvae and fry. Their eggs (cysts) can be stored dry and hatched on demand to produce live nauplii (larvae). Brine shrimp are rich in protein and can be bioencapsulated with nutrients to fortify fish diets. Essential for ornamental and marine hatcheries.
Key Features:
- On-Demand Hatching: Dormant cysts stored for years, hatch in 24-48h.
- Superior Fry Food: Perfect size (400-500 microns for nauplii).
- Bioencapsulation: Can carry vitamins, medications, or fatty acids.
- High Protein: 50-60% dry weight.
