Key Characteristics of Gondol Formula Feed
-----------
Target Species: Primarily developed for the nursery of scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) and grouper hatchery production.
Nutritional Profile:
* Protein: Contains a "middle" protein level of approximately 46.51%, which is lower than some commercial grouper pellets (approx. 53%) but higher than standard shrimp pellets (approx. 33%).
* Fat: Includes a fat content of roughly 7.07%.
* Water Stability: A defining feature is its high stability; the pellets are designed to remain intact in water for 10–12 hours before breaking down. This durability is crucial for slow-feeding species like lobsters.
Performance: Research indicates that lobster fry fed with the Gondol formula often show significantly higher survival rates (e.g., 39.0%) compared to those fed with standard commercial grouper or shrimp pellets.
Recommended Feed Formula for 1–5g Juveniles
---
Based on research from the Research Institute for Mariculture (RIM) and other tropical rock lobster studies, the following composition is ideal for inducing frequent and healthy molts:
* Crude Protein (50%–55%): Essential for tissue growth between molts. Formulations like the ACIAR project basal feed suggest that increasing protein from 47% to 55% significantly improves specific growth rates in 1.8g juveniles.
* Total Lipids (9%–10%): High energy is needed; 9% lipid levels have been found to yield maximum growth and digestive enzyme activity.
* Cholesterol (0.5%–1.0%): Crustaceans cannot synthesize cholesterol, which is the precursor to the molting hormone ecdysone. Inclusion of 0.5% is standard in the IMRAD Gondol formula.
* Astaxanthin (100–800 mg/kg): Acts as a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress during the vulnerable molting period.
Key Additives to Stimulate Molting
---
|Additive |Purpose |Recommended Level|
|-----------|---------|-----------------|
|Calcium (Ca) |Increases molting frequency and survival; 2% supplementation is often optimal.| 2.0% in feed|
|Phospholipids |Aids in the absorption of cholesterol and other sterols essential for ecdysone production.| 1.5% – 2.0%|
|Exuviation Element |Specialized commercial "molting" hormones or elements sometimes included in patented crayfish/crustacean pellets. |0.05% – 0.1%|
Feeding Management for 1–5g Lobsters
---
* Pellet Size: For 1–5g lobsters, a 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm noodle-shaped pellet is most efficient. Larger 5 mm pellets result in significantly higher waste for this size class.
* Frequency: Feeding twice daily (at 09:00 and 15:00) is common, but research on the IMRAD Gondol formula suggests that for juveniles under 5g, increasing frequency to 3–4 times can better support the rapid metabolism required for frequent molting.
* Water Stability: The pellet must remain stable for at least 10 hours. Using binders like wheat gluten or carboxymethyl cellulose ensures the nutrients don't leach before the slow-feeding lobster consumes them.

- which one taste better
|The table below provides a quick comparison of the availability and cost of snapper and grouper:|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Fish| Availability| Cost|
|----|--------------|--------|
|Snapper| Common in Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean| Higher price due to demand and difficulty of catching|
|Grouper| Common in Atlantic and Pacific oceans| More affordable due to abundance and ease of catching|
## Snapper vs Grouper
Both of these species are known for having firm yet moist meat while having the added health benefit of being low in fat. Snapper is slightly sweeter and the meat more delicate, especially when grilled, than Grouper. Most compare its flavor and texture to be similar to that of halibut or sea bass. Grouper on the other hand is milder or more subtle in flavor making it perfect for absorbing either dressings or marinades

## Hardshell vs Softshell (or just molting shrimp) result in high and low salinity shirmp culture
Hard shell lobsters also have less water weight, while soft
shell lobsters contain more water. This difference in yield is reflected in the lower pricing of soft shell lobsters.
For comparison, the average yield for hard shells is roughly 20% to 28% meat, while soft shells contain around 15% to 20% meat.

💡 The Two Types of Cannibalism
Researchers typically categorize cannibalism in cultured fish into two main types, which are relevant for grouper fry:
- Type I (Early Larval Cannibalism): This occurs in the larval phase and is not necessarily dependent on size differences. The cannibal attacks and damages part of a sibling (often the tail) but cannot swallow the victim whole, so the rest is disgorged. This can cause mortality and infections.
- Type II (Late Juvenile or Adult Cannibalism): This form is directly linked to size variation within a group. A larger fish (cannibal) swallows a smaller sibling whole. This type often leads to more severe stock losses than Type I.
� Lighting Conditions and Cannibalism in Fish
While the search results confirm that light intensity is an environmental factor studied for cannibalism mitigation, the specific research pertains to other species.
- Evidence from Other Species: One study on Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) found that light intensity significantly affected survival, growth, and cannibalism rates. The study concluded that an intensity of 500-1000 lx was optimal for survival and growth in that species.
- Information Gap on Grouper: The provided research on grouper fry focuses on other factors like stocking density and feeding frequency. The search results do not contain a specific study that directly addresses the use of lighting to control cannibalism in grouper fry.
🎣 Proven Mitigation Strategies for Grouper Fry
For grouper fry, the most well-documented methods to reduce cannibalism involve stocking density, feeding frequency, and size-grading.
- Optimal Stocking Density and Feeding: A 2025 study on hybrid groupers found that a stocking density of 30–40 fish/L combined with a feeding frequency of 4–6 times per day significantly reduced cannibalism. In contrast, lower densities and less frequent feeding increased it.
- Size-Grading: Since Type II cannibalism is driven by size differences, routine grading by size is the most common method to reduce losses. By separating larger potential cannibals from smaller potential prey, farmers can effectively manage this risk. Morphometric models can even predict the length ratio at which cannibalism becomes possible, allowing for proactive grading.

* **small prawn eats the grouper lice but not too big which grouper will eat the prawn**
* A freshwater dip is a treatment for saltwater fish, like groupers, to help remove parasites.
It involves temporarily placing the fish in fresh water for a short period, typically 3-5 minutes, to kill or loosen parasites.
This is a pre-quarantine treatment and should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for a disease.
Weak fish:
Avoid freshwater dips on fish that are already weak or dying, as they can be fatal.
Potential side effects:
Some fish may have difficulty returning to their normal salinity after a freshwater dip, and may need assistance to regain their balance.
Aeration:
Ensure the freshwater dip container has adequate aeration to provide oxygen to the fish

Efektivitas Pemberian Minyak Cengkeh sebagai Obat Bius pada Ikan Kerapu Cantang
Penelitian penggunaan minyak cengkeh dengan konsentrasi 5, 10 dan 15 ppm sebagai bahan anastesi pada transportasi tertutup ikan Kerapu cantang memberikan hasil tingkat kelangsungan hidup sebesar 76,67%, 86,67%, dan 80%, sedangkan tanpa penambahan minyak cengkeh tingkat kelangsungan hidup ikan kerapu adalah 60% pada pada transportasi dengan pemberian MS 222 70 ppm tingkat kelangsungan hidup mencapai 90%.
Minyak cengkeh merupakan salah satu obat bius alami yang telah dikembangkan dan digunakan sebagai pengganti obat bius kimia seperti MS 222.
Minyak cengkeh diperoleh dari ekstrak daun, batang dan bunga tanaman cengkeh. Minyak cengkeh diketahui mengandung senyawa eugenol yang bersifat
analgesik atau mengurangi rasa sakit, selain itu juga mengandung senyawa kartiofilin yang bersifat sebagai antiseptik. Minyak cengkeh digunakan sebagai anestesi lokal pada hewan dan manusia dan memiliki efek sedasi pada hewan air. Namun senyawa tersebut juga memiliki aktivitas insektisida sehingga jika digunakan secara berlebihan dapat menyebabkan kematian pada ikan.
Pemberian anestesi minyak cengkeh juga mempengaruhi total leukosit pada ikan kerapu setelah transportasi selama 10 jam.
Pada penelitian ini jumlah leukosit mengalami perbedaan bermakna antara perlakuan negatif dan kontrol.
Leukosit merupakan salah satu bagian darah yang berfungsi sebagai antibodi non spesifik. Saat ikan mengalami kondisi stres,
jumlah leukosit dapat meningkat sebagai bentuk tindakan pertahanan akibat stresor.

Grow-out operations in central Vietnam are capable of producing market-size sandfish (350–400 g), from 2–5 g juveniles, after approximately 12 months in earthen pond-based culture.
However, the onset of the wet season in Vietnam (typically from May to early November) and resulting reduction in the salinity of culture water,
may impact productivity through reduced growth rates and survival (Mills et al., 2012).
Vietnamese farmers have consequently developed an ‘advanced nursery’ phase, where 2–5 g juveniles are cultured at high density in ponds with organic matter-rich sediment (>50,000 ind./ha compared
to ∼10,000 ind./ha which is the standard grow-out density), until they reach a size of ca. 50 g.
This permits ‘short-cropping’ during the grow-out phase, because when larger juveniles are grown out, they can reach the target harvest weight of 350–400 g within 7–9 months
and experience higher rates of survival (Mills et al., 2012).
The goal of this study was therefore to undertake a preliminary assessment of the feasibility of supplemental feeding to support short-cropping culture of sandfish in Vietnam by:
1. Evaluating the growth and survival performance of sandfish juveniles offered two different types of locally-sourced seaweed-based supplemental feeds (Sargassum sp. and Gracilaria verrucosa)
processed by both fermentation and pulverisation;
2. Determining an optimal stocking density for juveniles offered supplemental feeding; and
3. Applying the best-performing supplemental feed, determined from (1) during large-scale earthen-pond culture to assess the feasibility of commercial-scale short cropping.
Supplemental feed preparation
===
Supplemental feeds were prepared from commercially available wild-sourced seaweed collected from coastal regions in Khánh Hòa Province, Vietnam, which is readily available in dried form (Hong and Ha, 2022). Fresh seaweed is first cleaned at the collection site using seawater to remove sand, debris, epiphytic growths and other extraneous matter attached to thalli and, prior to sun-drying, was rinsed with freshwater to remove salt residue. Both species of dried seaweed were powdered to a particle size of 350–450 µm using a high-speed dry grinding machine (2 kg capacity; 4000 W; model RRH2000A; Riri Hong Ltd) to produce the pulverised supplemental feeds. The fermented diets were prepared in batches as required. To prepare a single batch of fermented feed, 10 kg of dried seaweed powder was mixed with 2.5 g of a commercially-available livestock feed probiotic mixture (BIO-MEN animal feed brewing yeast/Men ủ thức ăn chăn nuôi BIO-MEN manufactured by Vườn Sinh Thái/Eco Garden, Vietnam), and 10 L of freshwater. The probiotic mixture comprised Saccharomyces boulardii (at a concentration of 1010-1014 Colony Forming Units; CFU), Lactobacillus acidophilus (1010 CFU) and Bacillus subtilis (1010 CFU) per g, respectively. This product had a maximum moisture content of 10%, sand/grit content of 2% and used corn flour and rice bran as the probiotic carrier agents (https://vuonsinhthai.com.vn/men-u-vi-sinh-thao-duoc-u-chin-thuc-an-chan-nuoi.html

# use of oyster shell
The easiest way to avoid this problem is to only use aged shell in your setting tanks. Every shell used in the system should be aged
at least a full year out in the open where it will be is exposed to weather and other factors that will remove the organic material from the shells. Once this ageing process
is completed, it is best if the shells are washed or cleaned to remove as much dirt and small shell fragments from the cultch as possible. When you have clean cultch material
it is ready to be containerized for use in your setting system.
## Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC)
is a non-crystalline form of calcium carbonate, and it is composed of aggregated nano-size primary particles.
Here, we evaluated its anti-cancer effect postulated relative to its buffering capabilities in lung cancer.
# Aeration
The most common approach is to use aeration. Most setting tanks are fairly shallow (6 feet deep or less) and this lends itself
to aeration by rotary blower. Rotary blowers are used because they provide high volumes of air at low pressure.
They are more efficient than compressors and do not introduce oil into the system.
Blowers should be sized to provide a gentle rolling movement throughout the entire setting tank. When installing aeration, make sure that water from the setting tanks is
not allowed by gravity to flow backwards into the blower when the blower is off.
The easiest ways to do this are either to install the blower above the highest water level of the setting tanks or to add a section of pipe that extends above the high water mark.
Getting air from the blower to the tanks is usually done through PVC pipes. Pipes
should be sized according to the volume of the setting tanks but, with smaller tanks
capable of holding 200-300 shell bags, 1.5 to 2 inch inside diameter pipes are
sufficient. Larger tanks will require larger diameter aeration lines. Blowers used in
remote setting do not create much pressure and therefore the use of larger pipe is
required. Pipes should be drilled with 3/8” holes about every 8 to 12 inches along
the length of the pipe to provide adequate aeration. Aeration pipes should be spaced
apart to allow a gentle flow to be created when the air is on. For example, a 12 foot
diameter tank with 3 or 4 pipes spaced at the bottom of the tank provides sufficient
aeration for good settlement to occur.
It is important that aeration pipes used inside the tanks NOT be glued together. These pipes will fill with sediment, have oyster larvae settle on them, and other things that
require them to be cleaned inside and out. In fact, each time a setting tank is broken down and reloaded with cultch, the air pipes should
be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned inside and out. This can be done with a brush on a
rope and fresh water, another good reason to use larger diameter piping. Care should be taken to remove ALL newly settled oyster spat
from the pipes and any other surface in the setting tank. If the tanks are re-used these spat will continue to grow. These spat
are voracious feeders and will compete with the next batch of larval oysters for the food in the tank and as they get bigger will provide substrate for oysters to settle on
# Instant Algae
Instant algae is your easy solution for replacing or supplementing live microalgae in commercial fish, shrimp, shellfish and ornamental hatcheries, universities and research centers. It is real marine microalgae, grown under laboratory conditions and concentrated for easy storage and long life. Instant algae is not alive and cannot be used as starter cultures – it is an inexpensive bulk feed.
Nannochloropsis
These are small green algaes that are extensively used in the aquaculture industry for growing small zooplankton such as rotifers and for greenwater. They are also used in reef tanks for feeding corals and other filter feeders. It is 3600 times as dense as cultured algae, so 1 liter replaces almost 4 metric tons of live algae! Available in 1-quart & 1-pint bottles, and 1-liter bags. Nannochloropsis is the single best food for growing rotifers. It has a very high EPA level and can be frozen for long term storage. It also works well for greenwater.
Shellfish hatcheries: works very well with mussels. It has not been traditionally used with oysters and clams, however a study currently being done at a university in Los Angeles indicates that it can work as well or better than Isochrysis and Pavlova with larvae and post set. Storage: instant algae nannochloropsis can be stored in a refrigerator for 3 months (best if stored at -1° to 3°C) or it can be frozen for longer shelf life (2+ years). When frozen, the algae will “hard-freeze” like ice.
Pavlova
Pavlova is a small golden/brown flagellate that is very similar to Isochrysis. It has a very high DHA profile and is excellent for enriching rotifers and other zooplankton. It is very difficult to develop the Pavlova, that is the reason why it is not produced by many incubation facilities. Pavlova is similar in nutritional profile to Isochrysis, however it has a more sophisticated sterol composition so it is very popular with cold water fish hatcheries (such as cod) for enriching rotifers.
Pavlova has both a high DHA and EPA profile so its good for enriching zooplankton. We have received very good reports on larval survival from hatcheries that use it to enrich brine shrimp. Pavlova works very well for oysters, clams, mussels and scallops. It is also used to increase the DHA/EPA levels in broodstock.
Isochrysis
Isochrysis is a small golden/brown flagellate that is very commonly used in the aquaculture industry. It is high in DHA and often used to enrich zooplankton such as rotifers or Artemia. Used for DHA enrichment of rotifers.
It is also a good size for feeding brine shrimp and copepods. Isochrysis is the most commonly used algae for oysters, clams, mussels and scallops.
Tetraselmis
Tetraselmis is a large green flagellate with a very high lipid level. It also contains natural amino acids that stimulate feeding in marine animals. It is an excellent feed for larval shrimp. Used in conjunction with Nannochloropsis for producing rotifers.
It is also a good size for feeding brine shrimp. A standard feed for oysters, clams, mussels and scallops.
Rotifer Diet HD
Rotifer Diet™ HD is a marine microalgae feed product for producing high quality, high density, low cost rotifers. Rotifer Diet HD is a combination of the microalgae species Nannochloropsis & Tetraselmis and results in a 20% increase in rotifer volume over pure Nannochloropsis.
It is a 100% complete feeding solution, needing no other feed additives to produce dense cultures. Rotifer Diet HD was specifically designed for high density rotifer systems, but also works exceptionally well in low density and batch cultures.
Thalassiosira weissflogii
Thalassiosira weissflogii is a large diatom (6-20μm x 8-15μm) that is used in the shrimp and shellfish larviculture industry. This algae is considered by several hatcheries to be the single best algae for larval shrimp. The large cell size (16 times the biomass of Chaetoceros and 3 times the biomass of Tetraselmis) extends the algae feeding period until the end of the PL stage. During the winter, this algae is about 15 microns, but shrinks to about 5 microns during the summer.
The color of TW varies from brown to green to yellow, depending on the amount of chlorophyll in the culture. This color change does not in any way affect the quality of the algae. Good for feeding copepods and brine shrimp. Due to its large size, TW is a very good feed for post-set (200 microns and larger) oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, and for broodstock conditioning.
Shellfish Diet
Shellfish diet is a mix of five marine microalgae that all have demonstrated success with a variety of shellfish including oysters, clams, mussels and scallops. A mixed diet provides a much better nutritional profile for all types of shellfish, increasing both growth rates and survival. Shellfish diet can be used with preset larvae all the way up through broodstock and will typically perform as well as algae so it can be used as a complete live algae replacement. 1/4 of Shellfish diet will replace the equivalent to 1800 liters of dense algae culture. This product is available in plastic bottles of 1/4, 1-pint and 1-gallon. The quantity of cells changes depending on the time of the year, but is approximately 2 billions of cells per ml.
# Sargassum Powder
# Spirulina
Spirulina powder, a type of blue-green algae, is often cultivated in both freshwater and seawater environments. Seawater can be a viable and even advantageous medium for growing spirulina, particularly for reducing the need for additional nutrients. However, spirulina grown in seawater may have a higher iodine content and require careful drying processes to maintain qualit.
Seawater can be a cost-effective and potentially more sustainable medium for spirulina cultivation, especially when supplemented with nutrients. Studies have shown that spirulina can thrive in seawater, and in some cases, even exhibit increased carbohydrate production and biomass concentration compared to freshwater cultures.
The quality of spirulina, regardless of the cultivation medium, depends on factors like the source of the water, the cultivation methods, and the drying process. Spirulina harvested from clean sources and properly dried is essential for ensuring a high-quality product.
A large-scale cultivation experiment demonstrated that Spirulina platensis, strain SCS, can be adapted togrow in seawater enriched with a commercial compound fertilizer (N: Ρ: Κ = 12:12:12), NaHCO3 andFeSO4. To avoid excess precipitation, a compound fertilizer, which contained phosphate, was supplied bydiffusion through a tubular dialysis membrane and a small amount of NaHCO3 was added. The average yieldof biomass in 84 days of consecutive production was 10.3 g (dry weight) m~2 day"1. The protein and aminoacids contents in the product were 66.6% and 62.2% respectively. We have shown that outdoor cultivationof Spirulina in seawater has potential for industrial production without involving valuable farm land, employingless expensive culture medium which can be recycled and giving higher yield and higher quality products
Biochemical Changes
One of the most interesting side effects of culturing spirulina in seawater is that the carbohydrate content of it skyrockets while the protein content drops significantly.
Spirulina harvesting
---
involves separating the algae from its liquid growth medium. This is typically done through filtration or centrifugation, followed by drying to produce a powder or flakes. The harvested spirulina can then be used as a food supplement or in other application
