About this one

Chaetoceros muelleri is a robust, fast growing diatom prized for its high levels of EPA, digestible proteins, and essential minerals. Its small chain forming cells and excellent nutritional profile make it one of the most reliable feeds for bivalves, copepods, rotifers, and a wide range of marine larvae. Cultured under sterile, controlled conditions and shipped live, never stored or preserved, our Chaetoceros muelleri starter culture is a dependable choice for aquaculture facilities and reef systems looking for consistency and performance.

  • High in EPA, proteins, and key trace minerals
  • Excellent feed for bivalves, copepods, rotifers, and larval finfish
  • Supports rapid growth, strong survival rates, and healthy development
  • Promotes biodiversity, nutrient uptake, and stable system function
  • Shipped live and fresh with no additives or preservatives
  • Perfect for direct dosing or scaling into larger cultures
