Micro Encap PL150 Shrimp Feed

Aqua Plus^® Micro Encap PL150 Shrimp Feed is a microencapsulated diet developed for the feeding management of shrimp post-larvae. With a particle size of approximately 150 microns, it provides a fine feed format suited to the small mouths and feeding behavior of early-stage shrimp. The microencapsulation process helps hold the feed components together and supports the delivery of nutrients in a form suitable for nursery feeding.

At the post-larval stage, shrimp are growing rapidly and feed quality can influence feeding response, growth consistency and the day-to-day management of the nursery system. A suitable diet needs to provide more than small particles. It should offer a balanced nutrient supply, remain accessible in the water column or near the tank bottom, and be manageable under the farm's feeding routine. Micro Encap PL150 is designed for this practical role, helping hatchery operators provide a fine, consistently sized feed during early nursery development.

Its microencapsulated structure is particularly relevant in intensive shrimp-rearing systems, where feed distribution, water quality, and uneaten feed must be managed together. The fine particle size allows the feed to be incorporated into frequent, controlled feeding schedules. For hatcheries and shrimp nurseries, PL150 can serve as part of a staged feeding program, alongside other suitable larval and post-larval diets according to shrimp size, stocking density, and feeding performance.
