Nanno 3600 (Nannochloropsis)

High Yield Grow-out Feed
Nanno 3600 is our original high-yield rotifer feed. It is single-species (Nannochloropsis) and produces phospholipid-rich rotifers. It also provides a high Feed Conversion Rate with minimal organic waste in the tank, and gives an EPA and ARA pre-enrichment boost for use with high-DHA enrichment protocols.

The shelf Life is 2 years frozen and 12 to 14 weeks once thawed. Strain: CCMP525
NOTE: For new customers, we suggest our next-generation product, RotiGrow Nanno
Applications: Finfish Hatcheries Shellfish Hatcheries
Related Products: Instant Algae® Rotigrow® N-Rich® Rotigreen®

Nanno 3600 Offers:
- Healthy Rotifer Cultures — Rapid growth, minimal fouling and reduced bacteria loads
- High Yields — Rotifers can double daily at densities over 8,000 L-Type rotifers per ml
- Optimum Enrichment — Supports full highly-unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) enrichment; the best source of EPA and ARA as well as critical vitamins
- Concentrated, Clean, Liquid Form — Exceptionally clean and easy to use with minimal foaming or clumping, which means less time spent maintaining cultures
- Long shelf life — frozen, three years
Storage: Instant Algae Nannochloropsis can be stored in a refrigerator for 12 to 14 weeks (best if stored at -1 to +3C) or it can be frozen for longer shelf life (2 years). When frozen the algae will "hard-freeze" like ice.
Ice Cubes: If you have received a liter of Nanno and don't plan to use it all within 12 to 14 weeks of thawing a frozen bag, we suggest making it into ice cubes. Simply pour the algae into a standard ice cube tray and freeze for 24 hours. Then take the cubes and store them in a plastic bag in your freezer. As you need more algae, remove a cube from the plastic bag and thaw.
