Artemia Incubator

Artemia Incubator is the live feed production tool that serious Nigerian fish hatchery operators and aquarium enthusiasts rely on to produce fresh, highly nutritious brine shrimp nauplii for feeding fish fry, fingerlings and juvenile fish. In fish hatchery operations, the quality of live feed given to newly hatched fry in the first days of their lives has a profound impact on survival rates, growth rates and overall development. Artemia nauplii are universally recognized as one of the best first foods for fish fry, packed with essential fatty acids, proteins and nutrients that promote rapid development and high survival rates.

Artemia, also known as brine shrimp, is a small crustacean found in inland saltwater bodies. Artemia’s unique properties enable large-scale aquaculture and it is ranked as a top live feed for early stage fish and shrimp larvae.

How to hatch Artemia in the incubator:

In 1 litre of spring water or dechlorinated tap water, dissolve 2 tablespoons of non-iodized salt. Add brine shrimp eggs and aerate continuously. Incubate and aerate cysts in the conical shaped container with cyst to solution density not exceeding 2 grams per litre. Provide the hatching tank with natural or artificial light and maintain constant temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. Wait for 24 hours after incubation, then stop aeration and wait 10 minutes for hatched nauplii to sink to the bottom for easy collection.
