Unique – Mine LS

Minerals are essential for the basic body metabolism and growth. Shrimp absorb minerals from water and feed. The availability of the minerals in the medium depends on many factors like, pH, alkalinity, hardness, salinity etc. Especially the salinity of the water determines the mineral composition of the medium. Shrimp when grown in lower salinity need some of the essential minerals which are mostly not available from that environment. In high density shrimp culture the essential elements will always be in short supply from the environment affecting directly or indirectly shrimp growth and performance. This deficiency in the supply of essential minerals leads to conditions like, white muscle, body cramping, soft/loose shell, molting issues etc. Under low salinity cultures (< 20 ppt) the requirements of the shrimp for certain minerals components is more. Hence it is essential to provide the specialized and critical minerals in higher quantities in low salinity culture to meet the demands for optimum growth and production performance. Generally the mineral supplements used in shrimp aquaculture have similar formulation targeted for both low and high salinities. Unique-Mine LS is designed to meet the specialized demand of the growing shrimp at lower salinity.
