Rotifers Refrigerated Shelf Life
Rotifers shipped from Reed Mariculture will be packaged in "breathable bags" at 6 C. They will be shipped in insulated boxes and contain gel ice packs to maintain that temperature. Upon arrival the rotifers should either be used immediately or put into a refrigerator at 4-8 C. The effective shelf live of rotifers is:
| Rotifer Shelf Live from date of harvest | |
|---|---|
| 1-4 days | 95% |
| 4-7 days | 85% |
| 10 days | 50% |
| 14 days | 30-40% |
Before adding the rotifers into your system please follow our directions for setting up your Rotifer Culture.
