Portugal-based company Sparos has announced the launch of two new hatchery feeds in a press release dated today. Sparos offers contract-research services related to aquafeeds and produces their own range of aquafeeds for hatcheries and zebrafish used in biomedical research.
The two new feeds are aimed at marine fish hatcheries and are named ENRico and WIN Wrasse. They will be supporting optimal larvae performance in hatcheries, as producing some of the most demanding species has become a main focus of Sparos' in their R&D.
ENRico is formulated with a balanced nutritional content for optimal larvae development, for Artemia and Rotifers. The formula is rich in DHA and taurine, with a high protein content as well as enhanced levels of vitamins and minerals. The feed is aimed at species such as Senegalese sole, Turbot, Halibut, Ballan wrasse, and others.

WIN Wrasse is a weaning microdiet tailor made for Ballan wrasse larvae. It contains premium ingredients produced by low-shear extrusion and microencapsulates water-soluble nutrients. Feeding it to the Ballan wrasse larvae will ensure good growth and survival, whilst keeping the feed digestible, palatable, with a low impact on water quality.
'We are pleased to launch these two new products as a result of Sparos' R&D efforts," explains Luis Conceição, co-founder and R&D director of Sparos, "To provide innovative nutritional solutions that will ultimately support the production of high quality juveniles at marine fish hatcheries and help our customers strive."
