MAT Artemia Hatching Systems

The MAT-KULING Artemia Hatching System is a live feed production skid built to do two jobs — hatch artemia cysts and enrich the resulting nauplii so larvae get EPA- and DHA-rich feed. Four 18.5 L clear vessels sit on a common table frame, each with its own camlock valve for harvesting and draining. Because the vessels run independently, hatches can be staggered for several fresh harvests a day.

Product Information

Key Features

  • Does two jobs in one skid — hatches artemia cysts and enriches the resulting nauplii to deliver EPA- and DHA-rich live feed to larvae
  • Four clear vessels, so hatch progress and nauplii density can be judged by eye without opening the vessel
  • Vessels run independently, letting batches be staggered for several fresh harvests across the day
  • Camlock valve on every vessel for clean harvesting and quick draining between batches
  • Table-mounted skid puts the vessels at a sensible working height with the plumbing accessible for daily cleaning
  • Part of the MAT-KULING live feed production range, so it sits alongside the rotifer and copepod skids in one live feed room
  • Sizing: four vessels of 18.5 L working volume each, 74 L in total — cyst batch size per vessel is set by your target hatch density and daily nauplii demand, which Fresh By Design will size with you

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Artemia Hatching System sized?
Size it by vessel: each of the four vessels holds 18.5 L, and cyst loading per vessel is set by the hatch density you need, so tell us your daily nauplii demand and we will confirm the loading.
How is this different from the MAT Rotifers and Copepods systems?
This skid hatches and enriches artemia in four 18.5 L vessels; the rotifer skid cultures rotifers in three 17 L vessels, and the copepod skid runs one 420 L vessel over a 450 L sump.
Can it enrich as well as hatch?
Yes — it is designed for both hatching cysts and enriching the nauplii, so larvae receive EPA- and DHA-rich live feed.
How are nauplii harvested?
Each vessel has a valve with a camlock, used to harvest the artemia or to drain the vessel for cleaning.
Can batches be staggered?
Yes — the four vessels run independently, so hatches can be started at different times to give several harvests across the day.
What is the total working volume of the skid?
74 L, made up of four 18.5 L vessels mounted on a common table.
