About AquaGrow® Green
High-DHA microdiet supplement for shrimp and fish larvae

AquaGrow® Green is a spray dried product composed of algal phospholipid that is high in DHA as well as whole cell Chlorella and micronized Spirulina. This unique algal formulation provides DHA, protein, vitamins and phytonutrients found only in these natural aquatic nutrient sources.

  • Contains 15% DHA by weight
  • Fortified with the natural protein, vitamins and carotenoids found in Chlorella and Spirulina, for balanced nutrition
  • 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
