INVE FRiPPAK PL
The FRiPPAK PL feeds are designed for high output post-larval cultures as stand-alone diets or in combination with Artemia nauplii. The range consists of 2 different size classes to suit feeding of post- larval stages up to PL10.
Product Description
Adapted feeding regimes that are based on FRIPPAK FRESH Gold during the larval stages and on FRIPPAK PL feeds during the post-larval stages allow safe and reliable Artemia reduction in the culture cycle without compromising survival and post-larval quality.
Features & Benefits
HIGH QUALITY MICROPARTICULATED DIETS FOR POST-LARVAL SHRIMP
- COMPLEMENTARY WITH FRiPPAK FRESH DIETS IN LARVAL STAGES
- BEST BALANCE BETWEEN LIVE FEED AND FORMULATED DIETS
- PRODUCES THE BEST QUALITY POST-LARVAE
- TOP SURVIVAL RATES
- OPTIMAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Protein
FRIPPAK PL FEEDS contain optimal levels of highly digestible protein (90% pepsin protein digestibility) from marine protein sources. The relatively high portion of soluble protein (>30%) favors attractiveness and digestibility.
Lipid
Plenty of marine HUFA-rich oils are used to obtain a balanced composition of essential
fatty acids (EPA and DHA); the lipids mainly consist of triglycerides, phospholipids and
cholesterol, scientifically proven to be the most important contributors to energy
production, membrane building blocks and osmotic regulation capability.
Vitamins
A full range of vitamins and carotenoids is provided through selected premixes.
Additional vitamin C and E effectively enhance the stress and disease resistance
of the developing post-larvae.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
Reliable Artemia replacement
The FRiPPAK FRESH Gold diets and the FRiPPAK PL FEEDS are part of INVE Aquaculture’s top performing feeding program for the larval and post-larval production of penaeid shrimp species. Adjusted feeding schedules, with the right proportion between live feed and FRiPPAK products result in the Best Balance protocol, which allows safe and reliable Artemia reduction down to only 15% of the total dry matter requirements (see figure and table).
Figure: Relative contribution of Artemia and formulated feeds to the total dry matter consumption in PL10 for a standard feeding protocol and an optimized Best Balance protocol.
Table: Quantity (g) of diets, Artemia and their dry matter (DM) required in two feeding protocols to produce one million L.vannamei PL10. The relative contribution of both feed types is calculated on a dry matter basis.

- Average dry weight of formulated diets: 95%
- One kg of Artemia cysts (GSL, 200,000 nauplii per gram cysts) corresponds to about 400 g of nauplii biomass (dry matter).
Best cost-benefit ratio
The superior nutritional strength of the FRiPPAK products is demonstrated in industrial production environments: regardless the hatchery’s routine feeding protocol, the combined application of the FRiPPAK FRESH Gold diets and the FRiPPAK PL FEEDS consistently cuts the Artemia needs by half without compromising survival, development and growth of the animals. This represents a reduction of the post-larvae production cost of 20-30%.
Use & Storage
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
All FRIPPAK PL FEEDS are added directly to the culture tank.

- diatom cells per microliter
- Artemia nauplii per (post-)larva per day
- gram cysts per million (post-)larvae per day (assumed hatching: 200,000 nauplii per g cysts)
NOTES
- Adapt to local prevailing conditions (e.g. algae use, rearing system, microbialmanagement, temperature, etc)
- Split the daily required amount over different rations to optimize continuous feedavailability in the water column
- Spread evenly over the water surface
- Best feeding practices are based on frequent visual observations of the animals (fulness of the gut, prevalence of cannibalism) and tank conditions (water quality)
