1. Why shrimp need more minerals than expected
Each moult, shrimp lose 30 – 40% of total minerals through the discarded shell. In low-salinity intensive ponds (< 15 ppt), water doesn't supply enough — supplementation via feed and broadcast is mandatory. Mineral deficiency → soft shell → poor moult → slow growth → moult mortality.
2. Dosage
Mix with clean water, blend into feed or broadcast:
- Routine in-feed: 5 – 10 ml/kg feed, 1 – 2 meals/day, full cycle.
- Pre-moult broadcast: 1 L/3,000 m³ water, 12h before shrimp moult.
- Visibly soft shell: in-feed 10 – 15 ml/kg + broadcast 1 L/2,000 m³, 2 – 3 consecutive days.
- Combine with MIXBOOM or QUICKSHELL GOLD for enhanced moulting drive.
3. Cautions & notes
- Measure water Ca/Mg before increasing dose — avoid mineral excess and precipitation.
- Shake before use. Reseal cap after use.
- Don't combine simultaneously with other high-phosphate products.
- Boost DO before and after shrimp moult.

During culture: 3 - 5 ml/kg feed, 1 - 2 times a day. Dilute in just enough clean water and mix evenly into the feed. Coat with ATOMIC or a suitable product and let dry about 20 minutes before feeding. Nursery stage: 1 L/300 m³ of water every day. Routine in grow-out: 1 L/2,000 m³ of water every 5 days. Poor appetite, soft shell, bent body, opaque muscle: 1 L/1,000 - 1,500 m³ of water. Synchronised moulting and fast shell hardening: 1 L/1,000 m³ of water. Dilute with water and spread evenly over the pond. Note: Shake well before use. Adjust the dose to actual pond conditions, stocking density and shrimp health. Close the can tightly after use if not finished.
- Provides essential minerals to help shrimp develop firm flesh and hard shells.
- Stimulate uniform molting, prevent soft shell syndrome and molting difficulties.
- Stabilize osmosis, reduce stress, and promote healthy shrimp growth during farming.
