Live diets require supplementation with artificial dry or liquid diets to achieve
optimum production of larvae. Dose rates for artificial diets should be based on
observations of the larval feeding habits and water quality, manufacturers
recommendations and experience. Take care not to overfeed with formulated diets, as
this may lead to water quality problems and fouling of the larvae. Algae dose rates are
shown in section 4.4 and Table 6. Artemia dose rates are calculated based on the use
of about 6 kg of Artemia cysts/million PL produced, whilst trying to always maintain
3-5 Artemia nauplii/ml in the larval rearing tanks (
