QUESTION:


I am looking for an enhancement product for Artemia nauplii that has a
high total fatty acid %, and high DHA%. I've looked into selco, algamac, algae, artemate, and Salt Creek DHA booster.  Does anyone use a product that has a higher TF% than 31%?  What enhancers are you using for your marine fish species through day 44?

COMMENTS:

There is a new strain of Schizochytrium called AlgaMac-3010, flaked-dried in nominal 300 micron particles, you blend for a few minutes to break down to individual cells of 6-8 microns in size for Artemia enrichment. This has 56% TF, 19% protein, 7% carbohydrates.  It has
minimum of 15-16% by dry weight of DHA.  Work on bottom fish
done by SEAFISH Authority of UK - Robin Shields.
