Wholesale Brine Shrimp Eggs

Aqua Plus^® Wholesale Brine Shrimp Eggs are intended for aquaculture hatcheries, ornamental fish breeders, and aquatic feed distributors that require a dependable source of live feed for early-stage aquatic animals. These dormant Artemia cysts can be incubated on demand to produce newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii, a widely used live-feed option for fish larvae and selected crustacean larvae.

The primary nutritional value of brine shrimp eggs lies in the live nauplii produced after successful hatching. Newly hatched Artemia provide protein and lipids that supply amino acids and energy for developing aquatic animals.

Protein supports the formation and maintenance of body tissues, while lipids provide energy for metabolism and growth. Artemia nauplii also contain essential fatty acids and other naturally occurring nutrients, although their precise nutritional composition varies with Artemia strain, cyst origin, developmental stage, and any enrichment treatment applied after hatching. For species with specific requirements for highly unsaturated fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA, hatchery operators may need to enrich harvested nauplii with an appropriate enrichment product before feeding.

With clearly defined detection methods, optimal incubation conditions, and verified results, a 90% hatching rate helps improve the utilization efficiency of the egg supply.

Standardized procedures for storage, incubation, and collection help maintain hatching performance and minimize the introduction of residual organic matter into the culture water.
