Culture of Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) by Using Cyclop-eeze Feed

“It is confirmed that 8/m2 is an ideal stocking density for the culture of P. monodon as evidenced from the high net profit (Rs. 1,92,480). To get this profit, proper nursery stocking, feeding with Cyclop-eeze feed, proper water quality management and feed management is essential.

King Crab juveniles fed Cyclop-eeze have highest survival in AKCRRAB pilot project: In the Alaska King Crab Research and Rehabilitation and Biology(AKCRRAB) project, Cyclop-eeze fed juveniles had the highest survival in the C1-C3 juvenile stages. Hatchery raised red king crab juveniles were cultured from larvae of 12 ovigerous females collected from Bristol Bay, Alaska, USA. Juvenile instars were cultured in large-scale nursery grow-out containers in two phases: (1)

Atlantic salmon starter diets supplemented with Freeze Dried Cyclop-eeze^® had the highest survival rate (96.2%) compared to diets supplemented with live Artemia feeding (83.2%).

“Federal and state fish hatcheries raise millions of Atlantic salmon (ATS) for restoration projects in the northeastern U.S. Such hatchery production is essential for maintaining ATS stocks. Failure of ATS to begin feeding by the time yolk-sac absorption is complete may result in high mortalities during the first weeks of feeding. Therefore, successful propagation is contingent upon a feeding regime which gives good early growth and survival. Conventional dry diets perform well when used as ATS grower diets but have proven unsuccessful as starter diets.”

“Clownfish are of the most common residents in private saltwater aquariums kept by hobbyists around the world, creating a high demand for high quality fish. Cyclop-eeze showed the best results in color, length and weight.”

Artemia And Cyclopeeze Fill Void Left By BioKyowa In The Intensive Early Rearing Of Arctic Grayling (Thymallus Arcticus).
Early rearing is a critical time during the intensive aquaculture of Arctic grayling (Arcticus Thymallus). Due to their small size (.01g) at hatch, it is vital that during the first few days of swim up Arctic grayling receive proper feeds… In 2006 and 2007, the use of live, newly hatched Artemia (Argentemia Platinum Grade 0 brine shrimp) and Freeze Dried Cyclop-eeze© during the first 10 days of feeding before introducing Skretting’s BioVita yielded improved (49% and 60% respectively) survivals.

Clownfish 3X More Colorful after 21 days of Feeding
The mean color index scores of Cyclop-eeze fed Clownfish were 2 times greater than control diets after 9 days and 3 times greater after 21 days of trial feeding. “Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) fed Cyclop-eeze diet (2,867 ppm Astaxanthin) had significantly higher color scores compared to control diet (500 ppm Astaxanthin).”

Use of Cyclop-eeze as a substitute for Artemia nauplii in larval rearing of giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii .

(C. Mohanakumaran Nair,, Aquaculture Nutrition 13 (2), 88–93, 2007)

Freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) fed Cyclop-eeze as a 100% replacement of Artemia nauplii achieved the highest astaxanthin content compared to larvae fed Artemia nauplii only. The optimum diet for survival and lowest cost of production was 50% Cyclop-eeze and 50% Artemia nauplii.

Diet Type	Astaxanthin Content
100% CYCLOP-EEZE	50% Increase vs Artemia nauplii
