Frank Martorana, Business Development and Technical Support Manager for Great Salt Lake Brine Shrimp Cooperative, speaks to International Aquafeed Magazine at this year's World Aquaculture Society's LACQUA conference and expo in Panama City, Panama.
He demonstrated the company's products, including its 'cones' containing Artemia, and explained the differences of coatings being used. Mr Martorana describes the reliance the shrimp industry has on Artemia for its continued growth, the essential proteins, hormones, and nutritional aspects provided which impact the survivability of shrimp and fish. He says the production of Artemia in the USA is a well regulated industry, which ensures reliable and sustainable supplies.
