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 cultivation, dilute with water and broadcast evenly across the pond surface: Hatchery, nursery pond: 2 – 4 ml/m³ of water. Commercial grow-out pond: - During cultivation: 1 kg/1,000 - 1,500 m³. - To stimulate synchronous molting, rapid shell hardening, or when shrimp have poor appetite, soft shell, bent body, or white muscle: 1 kg/700 – 1,000 m³ of water. Note: Invert and shake the product well before use. Depending on the actual pond conditions, stocking density, and shrimp health, adjust the dosage accordingly. Close the bottle/can lid tightly immediately after use if the product is not fully consumed.
- 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.
