In recent years the hatchery sector has seen consolidation with larger units and standardisation of protocols, as well as the introduction of new species with unique feeding behaviour.
"This facility is a dream come true for our Global Hatchery Team. Our goal is to ease production, reduce costs and provide stronger larvae," said Global Hatchery Product Manager, Joanna Amaral. "We have successfully reduced the need for rotifers and Artemia with early co-feeding and this new Larviva Hatchery Hub will enable us to continue to develop both diets and feeding protocols," stated Joana Amaral.
High performance hatchery feeds are essential for creating strong and healthy fish and shrimp early in life as this leads to better survival rates and a more robust animal.
"The new facility is very advanced and versatile. It enables us to do trials with a very high degree of control over all production parameters. We can simulate conditions that our customers experience in different hatcheries around the world and do trials with both marine and freshwater larvae," explained Simon Wadsworth Global R&D Director of BioMar Group.
BioMar's Larviva hatchery feeds were first introduced in 2008 and are sold worldwide to both fish and shrimp species.
