Emulsifiers are incorporated in the formulation to help break up the oils into very small particles when mixed with water. The end result is a biological encapsulation of these oils and as a result, each individual Artemia nauplii is packed with a full array of critical fatty acids. When fed to cultured species, better growth and survival results. Hatchout Artemia Nauplii and separate from hatching debris as soon as possible. Start aeration to provide full circulation.
Lower density is best.
Longer treatment times may result in higher concentration of fatty acids, but this benefit must be balanced against an increase in nauplier size which may result in poor ingestion by larval shrimp and fish. Before feeding, strain off nauplii onto 120 meter Nitex netting and gently rinse with fresh seawater. Artemate to 500 cc freshwater in a blender or other high speed mixer. Blend at 10,000 rpm for 2 minutes. Do not store emulsion, but feed immediately.
