Description: (This product is feed grade used for seeding the growth of diatoms in the oceans of South-East Asia in the intensive cultivation of Prawn/Shrimp.) Product Information: Strain: Chlorella vulgaris Size: One Kilogram Effective Use: Fish Fry Feed Targets: Aquaculture systems, Zooplankton Cultures (Daphnia, Moina), Fish Fry Nurseries (Not Packaged For Resale) Chlorella vulgaris powder is a highly nutritious and convenient alternative to labor-intensive greenwater cultures commonly used to feed microorganisms in aquaculture systems. This dry powder simplifies feeding and reduces both cost and time without compromising the nutritional value essential for the growth of zooplankton like Daphnia and Moina, which are commonly used to feed small fish fry. Key Benefits Cost and Time Efficiency Traditionally, greenwater cultures require constant maintenance and environmental control. Chlorella vulgaris powder eliminates the need to manage live phytoplankton, providing an easily rehydrated, consistent feed source. This saves time and operational costs (Spolaore et al., 2006). Nutritional Value Chlorella vulgaris is rich in proteins, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, making it an excellent feed source for microorganisms that serve as live food for small fish fry. It contains high-quality proteins (up to 60% by weight) and essential lipids that support rapid growth in zooplankton, providing optimal nutrition to larvae and fry (Becker, 2007). Sustainability and Consistency Using Chlorella powder provides a stable food source that can be stored long-term and used when needed, unlike live cultures, which can crash due to contamination or environmental changes. This ensures a reliable, consistent feed supply (Borowitzka, 2013). Enhanced Growth of Zooplankton Chlorella vulgaris supports the growth and reproduction of zooplankton species like Daphnia and Moina, which are integral to the survival of fish fry in nurseries. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in promoting high population densities of these organisms (Lavens & Sorgeloos, 1996). Versatile Application The powder can be applied to both freshwater and saltwater systems, feeding a wide variety of zooplankton, filter feeders, and other microorganisms in aquaculture. Its versatility makes it an ideal substitute for live phytoplankton in both large and small-scale operations (Rodolfi et al., 2009). Conclusion Chlorella vulgaris powder offers a practical, nutrient-rich alternative to traditional greenwater for feeding zooplankton, supporting sustainable and cost-effective aquaculture practices. Its high protein content and ease of use make it ideal for both professionals and hobbyists aiming to optimize their fish fry rearing process. References Becker, E. W. (2007).
