Advanced Salt Lake Artemia Cysts are high-quality brine shrimp eggs harvested from the pristine Salt Lake region, renowned for its optimal salinity and mineral composition. These cysts are meticulously processed to ensure superior hatch rates, nutritional value, and consistency, making them an ideal choice for aquaculture farms, hatcheries, and ornamental fish breeders.
Artemia (brine shrimp) nauplii are a crucial live feed for larval fish and crustaceans due to their excellent digestibility, rich protein content, and essential fatty acids. Our Advanced Salt Lake Artemia Cysts stand out due to their:
High hatch rate (≥90%)
Low debris and empty shells
Excellent nutritional profile (high HUFA content)
Consistent size and quality
Our cysts undergo rigorous quality control to eliminate impurities and ensure ≥90% hatch rates under optimal conditions. The nauplii emerge with high motility, enhancing feed efficiency for larval fish and shrimp.
Artemia nauplii are rich in:
Proteins (60%+): Essential for growth and muscle development.
Lipids (20%+): Including DHA, EPA, and ARA, which are crucial for larval survival and immune function.
Natural carotenoids: Enhance coloration in ornamental fish.

Unlike lower-grade cysts, our product has minimal shells and debris, reducing tank fouling. The cysts can also be decapsulated (shell removed) for direct feeding without hatching.
Vacuum-sealed packaging ensures a 5-year shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place. We maintain a stable supply chain to meet large-scale aquaculture demands.
For best results, follow these guidelines:
Steps:
Prepare the hatching tank with saltwater (avoid tap water with chlorine).
Add cysts at 2-3g per liter.
Aerate vigorously to keep cysts in suspension.
Harvest nauplii after 18-24 hours using a sieve.

Advanced Salt Lake Artemia Cysts represent the pinnacle of brine shrimp egg production, sourced from the mineral-rich waters of China's Salt Lake region. This unique ecosystem provides ideal conditions for Artemia franciscana to produce cysts with exceptional biological value, making them the preferred choice for hatcheries worldwide.
What sets our product apart is not just its geographical origin but the rigorous scientific approach we apply throughout the harvesting and processing stages. Each batch undergoes:
Microscopic size grading to ensure uniform cyst diameter
Biochemical analysis to verify nutritional content
Controlled dehydration to optimize shelf stability
Vacuum-sealing in light-proof containers to preserve viability
The result is a consistently superior product that delivers:
Faster hatching synchronization (85% within the first 2 hours of the hatching window)
Higher biomass yield (up to 300,000 nauplii per gram)
Reduced bacterial load (<100 CFU/g) compared to conventional cysts

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Salt Lake Artemia cysts superior to others?
A: Salt Lake cysts have a naturally high hatch rate due to the lake's unique mineral composition. Our processing ensures minimal debris and maximum nutritional value.
Q: How should I store unopened Artemia cysts?
A: Store in a cool (below 10°C), dry place or refrigerate (4°C). Avoid freezing unless in long-term storage.
Q: Why is my hatch rate lower than 90%?
A: Common issues include:
Poor water quality (chlorine, heavy metals)
Incorrect salinity or temperature
Insufficient aeration
Q: Can I feed unhatched cysts directly to fish?
A: Yes, but decapsulation is recommended to improve digestibility.
Q: How do I decapsulate Artemia cysts?
A: Soak cysts in a bleach solution (5% active chlorine) for 5-10 minutes, then neutralize with sodium thiosulfate.
Q: What is the difference between "Grade A" and regular cysts?
A: Grade A cysts (like ours) have higher hatch rates, lower debris, and better nutritional content compared to lower-grade products.
Q: How much Artemia should I feed to fish larvae?
A: Typically 5-10 nauplii per larva, 2-3 times daily. Adjust based on species and growth stage.
Q: Can I enrich Artemia nauplii for better nutrition?
A: Yes, use HUFA emulsions (DHA/EPA) or spirulina powder for 6-12 hours before feeding.
Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for aquaculture farms?
A: Yes, we provide custom pricing for orders >100kg. Contact our sales team for details.
Q: How do I test the hatch rate before large-scale use?
A: Conduct a small-scale hatch test (1g cysts in 1 L water) and count nauplii after 24 hours.
