Micro Feed for Shrimp Larvae

Aqua Plus^® Micro Feed is a fine-particle formulated diet developed for shrimp hatchery and nursery feeding, where feed size, distribution and feeding control directly affect feed availability. The small, controlled particles are designed to stay accessible to young shrimp in the water column and can be incorporated into stage-based feeding programs as shrimp gradually move from smaller particles to larger nursery feeds.

Rather than relying on a single feed size throughout the production cycle, the feed can be selected according to shrimp development, feeding activity and actual intake. This makes it suitable for hatcheries that require more precise control over feed quantity and particle size during early shrimp production.

Fine particles remain available within the feeding zone, giving small shrimp more opportunities to encounter and capture feed instead of relying on large particles that quickly settle outside the feeding area.

The small particle format allows hatchery operators to make finer adjustments to feeding quantity, particularly when biomass and feed consumption change rapidly during early nursery stages.

Select the particle size according to shrimp developmental stage and feeding ability.

Divide the daily ration into several small meals rather than applying a large quantity at one time.

Distribute the feed evenly throughout the tank or feeding zone to improve access for shrimp.

Observe feeding activity, gut fullness and remaining particles after feeding.

Adjust the next ration according to actual consumption rather than using a fixed feeding rate throughout the production cycle.
