Algae Concentrates

• Whole Cell, Whole Food marine microalgae – Algal cells are non-viable but intact, retaining all their nutritional value
• Phototrophically grown
• Highly concentrated
• Easy to use
• No need to invest in infrastructure, time and labour required to grow algae yourself
• Long shelf-lives
• Free from pathogens – grown in closed systems remote from the ocean using artificial seawater

Overview and Comparison of Reed Mariculture’s Whole Food, Whole Cell microalgae feeds

Single Species

Products	Finfish	Shellfish	Shrimp	Description
Nanno 3600 (Nannochloropsis)				Our most popular feed since 1998. Widely used in finfish and mussel hatcheries, it has proven to be very effective with established protocols and it provides an EPA and ARA pre-enrichment boost for use with high DHA enrichment protocols.
Tetraselmis 3600				Tetraselmis is a large green flagellate with a naturally high lipid level. It also contains amino acids that stimulate feeding in marine animals. It is an excellent feed for larval shrimp. Tetraselmis is used to help regulate larval setting in bivalve hatcheries and is an excellent feed for post set bivalves and larval bivalves larger than 120 microns
Isochrysis 1800				A small golden/brown flagellate that is very commonly used in the aquaculture industry. It is very high in DHA and often used to enrich zooplankton such as rotifers or Artemia. Isochrysis is an essential alga in bivalve hatcheries and is widely used in shrimp and finfish hatcheries.
Pavlova 1800				A small golden/brown flagellate very similar to Isochrysis, that has a high HUFA and sterol content and is excellent for enriching rotifers and other zooplankton. Difficult to grow, it is not produced by many hatcheries.
TW 1200				Thalassiosira weissflogii is a large diatom (6-20µm x 8-15µm) that is used in the shrimp and shellfish larviculture industry. This algae is considered by several hatcheries to be the single best algae for larval shrimp.
TP 1800				Thalassiosira pseudonana is a small diatom (4.5-8 µm x 6-10 µm) that is used in the shrimp and bivalve larviculture industry. This alga has been found to be excellent for larval shrimp. Unlike many diatoms, the omega-3 fatty acid profile of Thalassiosira pseudonana provides, in addition to ample EPA (20.5% of fatty acids), significant DHA (6.3% of fatty acids).

Blends

Products	Finfish	Shellfish	Shrimp	Description
Rotifer Diet®				Our original feed blend of Nannochloropsis and Tetraselmis acts as an effective feed and health stimulent. It is very effective with established protocols and provides an EPA and ARA pre-enrichment boost for use with high DHA enrichment protocols.
LPB				LPB Frozen Shellfish Diet® is a highly concentrated, nutritious mix of Tetraselmis sp, Thalassiosira weissflogii and Thalassiosira pseudonana - species that have all demonstrated success with a variety of shellfish including oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and sea cucumbers.
Shellfish Diet® 1800				Shellfish Diet 1800® is a unique mix of six marine microalgae - Isochrysis, Pavlova, Tetraselmis, Chaetoceros calcitrans, Thalassiosira weissflogii and Thalassiosira pseudonana - species that have all demonstrated success with a variety of shellfish including oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops.

Rotigrow

Products	Finfish	Shellfish	Shrimp	Description
Rotigrow Plus®				A clean, high yield rotifer feed that maximizes pre-enrichment levels of DHA, EPA and ARA. It is the essential first step in the RotiGrow System depending on the nutritional requirements of the fish larvae. It can be used as a stand-alone feed or in combination with one of our N-Rich enrichment products.
Rotigrow Nanno®				A clean, single species (Nannochloropsis) and our highest yielding feed that produces very large quantities of phospholipids-rich rotifers of all types. It provides the highest biomass conversion rate of our products, with the least in-tank organic waste, and gives a high EPA/ARA pre-enrichment boost for high DHA-enrichment protocols.
N-Rich High Pro®				Formulated for maximum-enrichment protocols that require 6-8 hours, N-Rich High Pro ensures that the rotifer’s soft tissue and gut contain the highest levels of proteins and lipids rich in phospholipid HUFAs, as well as a host of carotenoids, sterols, vitamins, enzymes, and other key nutrients. Effective for overnight and 24-hr enrichment
N-Rich PL Plus®				With more bio-available phospholipids and other membrane lipids from microalgae, rotifers grown with RotiGrow Plus and enriched using N-Rich PL Plus can achieve near optimal enrichment in one to two hours. Achieve HUFA enrichment in excess of 60mg/g with a 6-8 hour enrichment with high DHA:EPA and ARA:EPA ratios.
RotiGreen® Nanno (Nanno 3600)				Extremely clean, it offers excellent suspension in the water column. RotiGreen Nanno replaces Nanno 3600, our original greenwater product available since 1998.
RotiGreen® Omega				The most trusted and widely accepted greenwater feed, RotiGreen Omega balances DHA/EPA with ARA to optimally nourish fish and maintain the health of rotifers.
RotiGreen® Iso				RotiGreen Iso is an Isochrysis 1800 formulation that can maintain or further increase the DHA/EPA ratio in your rotifers and larval fish to meet their nutritional requirements.

ClorAm-X

ClorAm-X is a dry powder water conditioner that detoxifies and removes ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines in both fresh and salt water. ClorAm-X is manufactured by AquaScience Research Group, distributed through Reed Mariculture.

ClorAm-X should be used:

• When conditioning new water for aquariums, tanks, ponds, and live-haul containers;
• After or during water additions;
• Before adding new plants, invertebrates, fishes or amphibians to an existing aquarium, tank, or pond; and
• To live-haul containers, during transportation of live fishes, amphibians, or aquatic invertebrates, to control and eliminate ammonia in the shipping water

Rotifer Floss (Filter)

Product Use

Wrap around stand-pipe or hang vertically in culture vessel. To prevent floating, attach a small weight to the bottom edge. Do not lay on bottom of vessel.

Cleaning the Filter

When the floss is full of detritus simply lift the floss out of the rotifer tank, lets it drain for 10 seconds over the tank, then wash it down with a garden or pressure hose or in a sink. The detritus easily falls off the filter under pressure and it can immediately be put back into the rotifer system. It should take less than 1 minute for the entire process.

If you have a small rotifer system (1 to 20 gallons) we recommend stirring the water up and brushing free any waste sticking to the interior walls prior to putting the floss back in. This will lift detritus off the bottom of the tank and back into the water column where the floss will remove it.

In time, the floss will pick up color from the feed but this is not a problem. There is no downside to cleaning the floss more often.

CCS Basic Set

Our CCS Basic Set includes specialized parts required to turn your own 20L bucket into a continuous growth and harvest high-density rotifer system.
