Distinguish pure Artemia eggs, egg-and-salt hatching mixtures and liquid Artemia products. Match the product to the hatching vessel, water volume and culture method.
Choose Artemia eggs or a ready-to-use hatching mixture
This category includes pure Artemia eggs, ready-to-use mixtures of eggs and salt, and related liquid Artemia products. Pure eggs allow the salt and culture conditions to be selected separately, while ready-made mixes simplify preparation for a specified water volume.
Compare pack size, product type, stated storage requirements and the planned hatching system. Products containing both eggs and salt must be dosed according to their own instructions. A liquid Artemia-based feed is not a hatching egg product and should be selected for its stated feeding purpose.
Hatch rate depends on egg quality, storage, salinity, temperature, aeration, light and hygiene. Prepare cultures with accurately measured water and clean equipment, and do not assume that every product is used with the same salt concentration or incubation time.
