PROCESS OF ENHANCING GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS THROUGH WATER BORNE ENRICHMENT WITH STABLE VITAMIN C DERIVATIVES

摘要

The disclosed invention discloses a process to increase the growth and survivability rates of shrimp and other aquatic organisms, and the hatchability of fish eggs. Stabilized forms of vitamin C are added directly to aqueous media where aquatic organisms develop through the larval stage, and the aquatic organisms absorb the vitamin C derivatives. The aquatic organisms treated in this manner have a greater chance of surviving to maturity in grow-out ponds, resulting in increased production.
