Date：May 01 2020Web Page No：81480
GEMMA Micro is formulated with a high percentage of soluble hydrolysed marine proteins, HUFAs, phospholipids and algae exhibiting a striking green colour. It has excellent physical characteristics and achieves the high fecundity, low feeding frequency and No-Artemia.
※ GEMMA Micro is a non GMO product according to EC regulation 1829/2003.
※ Available in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore only
Features
- Optimum growth in all lifestages of zebrafish
- Cost effective: Enough to feed only once per day upon feeding GEMMA Micro 300.
- High survival rate, high spawn performance and long life time due to its complete nutrition
- No adverse effect on reproductive performance
Experimental Data
■Comparison with conventional feeding The comparison was performed between only Gemma Micro and conventional food with Artemia.
Experimental condition
-Fish tank: 40 gallons
-Zebrafish: 400 fish
-Ovum collection: Each 10-14 days
Compared to control (conventional food with Artemia), Gemma Micro improves the number of embryo production.
Compared to control, Gemma Micro increases weight and length in both female and male.

FAQ
A-1. GEMMA Micro provides for 100% replacement of any requirement for live feed. For those who prefer to first feed rotifers, then GEMMA Micro 75 can be introduced as a co-feed with removal of rotifers upon transition to GEMMA Micro 150.
Q-2. What studies validate GEMMA Micro as a complete diet for all life stages of zebrafish?
A-2. The following research papers are available.
- The effect of feeding frequency on growth and reproduction in Zebra Fish (Danio ratio).
Lawrence, et al., Aquaculture, 368～369, 103～108 (2012). - The Successful Elimination of Live Food from a High Throughput Zebrafish Facility.
Carrie, Barton, et al., Sinnhuber Aquatic Research Laboratory. Oregon State University, USA. In preparation (Presented at Aquaculture America 2015)
Q-3. How does GEMMA Micro compare to Artemia with respect to spawning success and fecundity?
A-3. When compared to control groups fed Artemia and dry diets, treatments fed only GEMMA Micro 300 resulted in higher breeding success with more embryos produced per spawn, and a significantly greater lifetime embryo production.
Q-4. Can GEMMA Micro simplify laboratory processes and reduce costs?
A-4. GEMMA Micro can save on the direct cost of consumables (Anemia cysts and algae), but also on all the associated labor in maintaining these processes in the laboratory. The capacity of the live feed preparation room no longer dictates the usable area for housing fish.
Q-5. Is GEMMA Micro sterilized?
A-5. GEMMA Micro is manufactured and packaged under strict hygienic controls where the bags are nitrogen flushed creating modifed atmospheric conditions but it is not irradiated or certified sterile.
Q-6. Can I "wet" feed GEMMA Micro. or does it need to be fed dry?
A-6. GEMMA Micro can be wet fed using a squirt bottle. Duration of "wet" feeding should be kept short. Feed only one rack side at a time and then reload the bottle. Invert the bottle several times before feeding tank.
Q-7. What is the best before dating for GEMMA Micro?
A-7. GEMMA Micro has a guaranteed composition for two years from the date of production for un-opened bags.
Q-8. How quckly should I use GEMMA Micro once the bag is opened?
Q-8. GEMMA Micro should be used within 30 days after the bag has been opened. It should then be sealed, and refrigerated. Vacuum sealing is preferred if possible.
Q-9. Can I freeze GEMMA Micro to extend the shelf life on opened bags?
Q-9. GEMMA Micro can be frozen.
Q-10. Can I use GEMMA Micro in hand feed dispensers or automatic feeding systems?
Q-10. GEMMA Micro has excellent free flowing physical characteristics. The feed will remain free from clumping in a properly closed container. This makes it suitable for hand feeders, programmable feeders, feeding robots, and belt feeders.
