About AquaGrow® DHA
Highly effective for Artemia nauplii enrichment

AquaGrow® DHA is composed of spray dried algal phospholipid that is high in DHA. It is a product of the heterotrophically grown alga Crypthecodinium, a natural aquatic food source. The alga is cultivated in a GMP-regulated facility to insure quality, consistency and safety.

  • Contains min. 15% DHA by weight
  • Fortified with protein and vitamins
  • Provides highest level of DHA for optimal larval survival and growth
  • Ingested readily by Artemia nauplii
  • Assimilated rapidly due to high level of polar lipids
  • Produces ideal DHA:EPA ratio in Artemia for improved larval growth and development
  • Formulated to reduce residue, leaching and foaming (superior to emulsions)
  • Suitable for use as component in both aquatic and livestock diets
