Epicore Products for Aquaculture

Epicore products for aquaculture fit into three categories: products to improve growing water conditions, products to enhance disease resistance and products to improve animal nutrition, as described below:

EPICIN Biological Aquaculture Treatment is a natural microbial ecosystem for detoxifying aquaculture grow-out ponds and hatcheries. It eliminates water-fouling waste products such as ammonia and nitrites, thereby providing a healthier environment for marine animal growth. It also improves animal health and disease resistance by creating a probiotic environment.

EPIZYM-BGM Growth Medium reduces EPICIN treatment rates and, therefore, costs by growing-up additional microorganism cells at pond side. EPIZYM-BGM is a specially designed growth media to facilitate this grow-up of EPICIN at pond-side in a relatively short four hour period.

EPICIN-3W is the ultimate extension of Epicore's pond-side grow-up technology. It is formulated to give the maximum increase in EPICIN cells in a 24 hour grow-up. Unlike BGM, this product contains not only grow-up media but also the required amount of EPICIN.

EPIBAL Granular Hatchery Feeds are a major advancement in the feeding of larvae. They are made by a low temperature extrusion process that preserves freshness and feed ingredient quality.

EPIZYM-AGP Algae Growth Promoter provides specially formulated micro-nutrients and growth stimulants to be used with primary nutrients to promote the cultivation of algae.

EPIZYM-AGP COMPLETE Algae Growth Media is an equilibrated cellular stimulant for producing high levels of nutritious marine algae, rotifers and other zooplankton used for feeding shrimp and other marine animals. EPIZYM-AGP COMPLETE contains all the primary nutrients, vitamins and chelated trace minerals necessary for algae growth. Additionally it contains specially selected beneficial physiologic growth stimulants. Formulated as an easy to use, concentrated liquid it completely replaces the traditional Guillard’s f/2 media and offers economical advantages

EPIZYM-VMC Vitamin, Mineral Concentrate is a powdered feed supplement for grow-out feeds. Marine animals, being heterotrophs, need to be fed a balanced diet of protein, fats, carbohydrate and micro-nutrients. While most commercial feeds contain these ingredients, all too many miss some essential micro-nutrients. Either they are simply not included in the formulation or they are degraded during high temperature feed processing.

EPIZYM-VMCE is an equilibrated vitamin-mineral concentrate for enhancing aquatic animal feed. EPIZYM-VMCE is manufactured in a unique emulsion form that facilitates application to aquaculture feeds and improves leaching resistance.

EPIFEED Liquid Larval Hatchery Feed products are a major advancement in the feeding of larvae. Their unique emulsion form provides neutrally buoyant particles that remain suspended in the water column and are more available to larvae. EPIFEED products come in three different sizes to accommodate various aquatic species. They are formulated to provide an optimal balance of nutrients, including essential fatty acids. Their formulation minimizes leaching of nutrients reducing the build-up of toxic nutrients and pathogens in the tank. Tests run at the Oceanic Institute in Hawaii showed superior survival and stress resistance using the EPIFEED diet with reduced Artemia.

EPIBAL Granular Hatchery Feeds are a major advancement in the feeding of larvae. They are made by a low temperature extrusion process that preserves freshness and feed ingredient quality."

EPIFEED-MBF Shrimp Maturation Diet is a major advancement in the feeding of adult shrimp and other marine animals. EPIFEED-MBF is formulated to be a complete diet for adult shrimp and marine animals. It is prepared with the best quality of marine and plant proteins, olefinic lipids, phospholipids, carbohydrates, vitamins and micronutrients and is processed at low temperature to minimize degradation of delicate essential nutrients and micronutrients. It offers advantages of biosecurity, nutrition, cost and reproduction performance compared to fresh diets.

EPIFEED-ENRICH Feed Supplement is a water dilutable source of essential Omega-3 fatty acids intended for use as a supplement to live and prepared aquaculture feeds. Omega-3 olefinic lipids are important nutritional components to many aquaculture species. It is a stabilized and fortified emulsion form of Omega-3 lipids designed for easy application via Artemia or rotifer enrichment or absorption onto dry feeds.
