METHODS FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF LIVE FEED WITH NUTRIENTS ESSENTIAL FOR FISH LARVAE

摘要

A method of enriching fish food and live larval fish prey, especially Artemia nauplii and rotifers, with essentially highly unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids, carotenoids and pigments. The live prey are allowed to ingest/adsorb dry soap powders of highly unsaturated fatty acids obtained from the waste stream of marine algae oil extraction. The live prey can be highly enriched in docosahexaenoic acid obtaining ratios of docosahexaenoic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid greater than about 2.0 to 1.0.
