This is why Aquapurna has established its own hatchery, is raising broodstock and producing spawn after spawn of German born shrimp nauplii.
We have developed proven biological routines to ensure the secure and independent supply of local grown premium larvae. This enables us to stock only the best shrimp possible: high survival rate, agile and healthy, pre-grown and already adapted to grow-out habitat.
To avoid in-breeding, only premium broodstock is partially imported from selected US Hatcheries.
Most important: carefully imitating natural breeding environment in the open sea. Fresh feed, calm handling and thought-trough water parameters stimulate mating behaviour without having to use harmful conventional breeding methods (e.g. eyestalk oblation).
