Enrichment for Artemia

Enrichment for Rotifers

Direct Feeding

Live Algae Replacement



ARTEMIA ENRICHMENT PREPARATION 
1. Hydrate dry ALGAMAC-2500 powder in fresh or saltwater (preferably fresh) and mix in a blender for one minute. Up to 30 grams of dry product per liter may be emulsified. 
2. Strain off any excess surface foam. The mixture is now ready for use as indicated below. 

ALGAMAC-2500 prepared by this procedure will produce particle sizes of under 10 microns. 

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-2500 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 12 hours of enrichment. Harvest the enriched Artemia nauplii after 12 hours. If higher levels of DHA are desired, repeat enrichment process by adding another 0.2 grams per liter for an additional 12 hours. 

Ratio of Application: 0.2 grams/liter/12 hours/ 100,000 Artemia nauplii

Enrichment for Rotifers                      

ROTIFER ENRICHMENT PREPARATION 
1. Hydrate dry ALGAMAC-2500 powder in fresh or saltwater (preferably fresh) and mix in a blender for one minute. Up to 30 grams of dry product per liter may be emulsified. 

2. Strain off any excess surface foam. The mixture is now ready for use as indicated below. 

ALGAMAC-2500 prepared by this procedure will produce particle sizes of under 10 microns.

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-2500 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 12 hours of enrichment. If higher levels of DHA are desired, repeat enrichment process by adding another 300 mg ALGAMAC-2500 per 1,000,000 rotifers for an additional 12 hours. 

Ratio of Application: 300 mg ALGAMAC-2500 per 1,000,000 rotifers.

Direct Feeding
 
DIRECT FEEDING 
1. Hydrate ALGAMAC-2500 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. The ALGAMAC-2500 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-2500 prepared by this method will maintain particle sizes in the range of 10-80 microns.
