Properly hatched Artemia nauplii provide the highest nutritional value and performance for your hatchery. To help aquaculture professionals achieve consistent and efficient results, we offer proven protocols and expert support tailored to every production system.

Getting the best out of Artemia begins with the right hatching conditions. Temperature, salinity, aeration, and light all play key roles in successful incubation.

Key hatching parameters:

• Temperature: 28–30°C (82–86°F)
• Salinity: 25–35 ppt
• pH: 8.0–8.5
• Aeration: Constant, vigorous, non-turbulent
• Light: Continuous illumination for uniform hatching
• Duration: 18–24 hours depending on the strain

Our hatching guidelines are based on decades of lab and hatchery experience, helping you maximize nauplii yield and vitality.

After hatching, Artemia nauplii need to be efficiently separated from empty cyst shells and unhatched eggs. This ensures a clean, high-quality feed and reduces waste in your tanks.

We recommend using phototactic separation—exploiting the nauplii’s natural attraction to light—to gather only the active, healthy shrimp.

Steps for clean collection:

1. Stop aeration and let cyst shells float.
2. Illuminate from the bottom or side to attract live nauplii.
3. Gently siphon the light-attracted nauplii from the bottom.

To reduce contamination and ensure feed safety, always follow strict hygiene protocols:

• Disinfect hatching equipment regularly to minimize bacterial buildup and cross-contamination between batches.
• Use decapsulated cysts for easier handling, faster hatching, and improved biosecurity.
• Rinse collected nauplii with clean, filtered seawater to remove debris, cyst remnants, and potential pathogens.
• Avoid overfeeding to maintain stable water quality and reduce organic waste accumulation in rearing tanks.

Maintain proper storage of unused cysts in a cool, dry, and dark place to preserve hatchability. Always check expiration dates and reseal opened containers tightly.

Monitor water quality parameters daily—such as ammonia, nitrite, salinity, and dissolved oxygen—to ensure optimal rearing conditions post-feeding.
Proper hygiene not only safeguards the health of your larvae, but also maximizes the return on your Artemia investment.
