Enrichment for Artemia                      

 
ARTEMIA ENRICHMENT PREPARATION                                   
1. Mix measured amount of AlgaMac-2000 with either fresh or saltwater in electric blender for one minute or until completely emulsified.  Spray-dried particles break down into individual cells (6-8 microns). 

 

2. When blending is complete, strain through sub-80 micron mesh to eliminate any foam. 

ARTEMIA ENRICHMENT 
Transfer newly hatched Artemia nauplii to an enrichment tank with clean, filtered seawater. Maximum density of Artemia should not exceed 100,000 nauplii per liter of water. Add the prepared AlgaMac-2000 mixture to the enrichment tank at a rate of 0.2 grams per liter (per 100,000 nauplii). Aerate enrichment tank vigorously so that oxygen levels exceed 4ppm during the 8 hours of enrichment. Harvest the enriched Artemia nauplii after 8 hours. If higher levels of DHA are desired, repeat enrichment process by adding another 0.2 grams per liter for an additional 8 hours. 

Ratio of Application: 0.2 grams / liter / 100,000 nauplii / 8 hour enrichment period

Enrichment for Rotifers                      

ROTIFER ENRICHMENT PREPARATION 
1. Hydrate dry ALGAMAC-2000 powder in fresh or saltwater (preferably fresh) and mix in a blender for one minute or until completely emulsified. Up to 30 grams of dry product per liter may be emulsified at one time.
 
2. Strain off any excess surface foam. The mixture is now ready for use as indicated below. 
ALGAMAC-2000 prepared by this procedure will produce particle sizes of under 10 microns.
3. Transfer harvested rotifers to an enrichment tank with clean, filtered seawater. Maximum density of rotifers should not exceed 500,000 rotifers per liter of seawater. Add the prepared ALGAMAC-2000 mixture to the enrichment tank at a rate of 300 mg per 1,000,000 rotifers. Aerate vigorously so that oxygen levels exceed 4.0 ppm during the 8 hours of enrichment. If higher levels of DHA are desired, repeat enrichment process by adding another 300 mg ALGAMAC-2000 per 1,000,000 rotifers for an additional 8 hours. 

Ratio of Application: 300 mg ALGAMAC-2000 per 1,000,000 rotifers. 
 
Please note: The applications rate is only a suggested formula and users should conduct their own optimization rates for AlgaMac-2000.

Direct Feeding
 
DIRECT FEEDING 
1. Hydrate ALGAMAC-2000 in freshwater in a sealed container. Up to 30 grams of dry product per liter may be emulsified. NOTE: Refer to ratio of application below. 

2. Manually agitate the sealed container (do not use blender)**. The ALGAMAC-2000 solution is ready for use per your established larval feeding schedule. 

Ratio of Application: 4-5 grams per ton of water twice each day. 

**ALGAMAC-2000 prepared by this method will maintain particle size range not greater than 130 microns.  Please note actual micron size range using this method is between 10-25 microns making this also an optimal supplement for early larval stages.
