Pavlova Starter Culture
Pavlova is a golden-brown microalga highly valued for its extremely high levels of DHA, EPA, and sterols; making it one of the richest nutritional feeds available for marine larvae, bivalves, and zooplankton. Its small cell size and superior fatty acid profile make it ideal for boosting survival and growth in sensitive early life stages. Cultured under sterile, controlled conditions and shipped live; never stored or preserved; our Pavlova starter culture is a premium choice for serious aquaculture and reef systems.
Exceptionally rich in DHA, EPA, sterols, and essential fatty acids
Ideal feed for bivalves, copepods, rotifers, and larval finfish
Enhances growth, survival rates, and system biodiversity
Supports nutrient cycling and stable water quality
Shipped live and fresh; no additives; no preservatives
Perfect for dosing or scaling into larger cultures
