| The following table provides
suggested feeding levels when applying ACCLIMAC-10 acclimation diet. These levels may be
modified, depending on the density of larvae and design conditions of the hatchery. Use
these diets with or without other supplemental feeds and/or Artemia. Whenever implementing
stand alone feeding programs with these diets, appropriate feeding levels and water
quality controls should be established experimentally to suit your specific hatchery
design. When AccliMac is used in conjunction with other diets, determine the reduced level
amount of ABM diet so that over feeding of all combined diets is avoided. Best results
with ACCLIMAC are achieved by frequent feedings of the diets throughout the day (low
volume application at each feeding, six to eight times daily). |
