SPIRULINA FINE

Spirulina Fine Powder is made from purely cultured and highly nutritious dark blue-green algae.  It is easy to digest and helps to promote all physical functions of aquatic animal. It contains high profile of protein, amino acid, minerals, and chlorophyll that can increase fertility and reproduction, increase feed conversion, enhance the coloration and stimulate appetite, promotes larva growth and survival rate.

It can be used individually or as feed supplement to Skeletonema costatum. It can be also used in combination with other artificial or live feed. With good floatability, this spirulina can be easily consumed and produce less feed residues that maintains water quality.

Feeding

Feeding procedures and amounts of Spirulina will depend upon the species under culture and the desired outcome. Below are some recommended amounts for specific applications:

Fish Fry/Shrimp Larvae

Use 5 – 20 gram per million fry/larvae, feed 3-6 times a day. Pass through a suitable mesh screen as desired. Use more when there is scarcity of skeletonema costatum.

To Supplement Food Value of Artemia

One hour before harvest, feed with 100% microfine strain and supply to fry / larvae for an enriched meal.

For Enhanced Coloration

Supplement regular diet with 1-4% spirulina for increased pigmentation of ornamental and food species.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place, preferably below 30⁰C in order to retain maximum nutritional value.
