REVIVE ARTEMIA

Artemia is undoubtedly the best live animal for feeding fish larvae since no other animal can survive in a dried form for an extended period, which is very important for fish farmers and hatcheries. 

Revive Artemia is naturally grown in a salty lake in Russia and processed naturally to preserve nutritional values. It is marketed worldwide and in the EU region by VARS Aquaculture Company.

Revive Artemia benefits from a high protein rate (55%), an ideal concentration for feeding larvae, juvenile fish, and broodstock. Artemia-eating fishes grow faster and have a better fertility rate.

 

This high-quality Artemia can be used for marine species, freshwater, and saltwater aquariums of any size in hatcheries, at home, or work.

We guarantee the quality of our products for our customers.

Dry Artemia Cyst

CPG, or "Number of Cyst per Gram," varies with size and genus of Artemia, which is not related to quality.

However, the quality of Artemia is affected by the "Hatching Rate" and its nutritional values or biomass.

We have been harvesting Artemia from our two lakes in Russia for more than 20 years.

We guarantee superior product quality and consistency with a stable hatching rate of at least 85%. Every year, about 700 tons of wet Artemia and 400 tons of dry cyst and processed Artemia are harvested from our two lakes. 

We honorably invite our customers for a lake visit with a tour of our facilities in Russia during harvest time.

Incubation Procedure

Please shake it in a wide container until it becomes homogeneous before use.

Preparing the Hatching Tank Using:

  • Sea water or tap water with non-iodized salt
  • Salt concentration range: 28 - 30 ppt
  • Recommended pH level: 8 – 8.5
  • Add Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) to increase pH level if needed

Without any washing process, add cysts directly into the hatching tank at a concentration of 2 gr/lit.

  • Apply enough (high) aeration during the hatching period.
  • Keep the incubation temperature at 28-30 °C.
  • Provide constant illumination of at least 1500 Lux.

Incubation time is 24-28 hours.

 

  • Raise oxygen level to 15–20 ppm and stop aeration for 15-20 minutes.
  • Siphon Nauplii into a fine mesh net.
  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh water in a concentrator.
  • Store at 4°C until feeding.

  • Keep cysts in a cool and dry area at a temperature of 0 - 6°C.
  • Protect from direct sunlight.
  • After opening, use all cysts immediately. If not, store unused cysts in a cool, tightly sealed package.
