An alternative to live feed during first feeding: micro-capsules that deliver nutrients to the larva without leaching into the water.
Marine fish larvae have an extremely delicate digestive system at opening. Conventional dry feeds quickly lose their nutrients to the water; micro-encapsulation technology instead carries nutrients within a thin membrane all the way to the larva's digestive tract.
This approach reduces dependence on live feed (rotifers, Artemia), improves biosecurity and raises survival rates.
BLACKSEA larval feeds are designed to offer a nutrient matrix close to live feed in terms of phospholipid and free amino acid profile.
