High quality Artemia Cysts have been carefully selected for larviculture application and offer very small first hatch nauplii for demanding fish and crustacean larvae. The success of any breeding programme or "first feed" situation ultimately depends on the selection and quality of the items fed. With marine ornamental species in mind we take away chance and offer the finest artemia available. If nutritional enhancement is required our "Live Food Enrichment" provides the ideal source of nutrients for demanding species. |

How To Hatch Artemia Cysts
• For best hatching results and hygiene control decapsulation prior to hatching is highly recommended
• Use a transparent or translucent hatching cone or tank
• Supply air through an open ended aeration line down to the bottom of the conical part of the tank
• A valve at the top of the tank will facilitate the harvesting of the live artemia
• Hatching temperature of seawater should be 28°C (84°F)
• pH should be 8.75 to 8.85
• Salinity should be 20-30 parts per thousand (ppt) salt solutions or approximately 3% salinity.
• Illumination should be provided at 2000 lux at the water surface for the full duration of hatching
• The density should be 1.6gram of cysts per litre of seawater
• The hatching time should be 12 hours (24 hours if not decapsulated)
