Why decapsulated cysts?A complete contamination free and sterile
productSeparation problems after hatch are
avoided

Preparation
Tank set-up with stainless steel filter and aeration system
Addition of water and strong aeration

Hydration
Dry cysts are hydrated in water with strong aeration

Addition of chlorine and caustic soda => increases pH above 10
Addition of chlorine and hypoclorite solution
Temperature should be maintained within 25-30C

Colour change
1. Dark brown2. Grey3. OrangeThe process is stopped immediately after orange
colour appear
Process lasts from 5-15 min

Checking of bouyancy
Decapsulated cysts will sinkNon-decapsulated cysts will float

Termination of process Process is stopped by adding large amounts of water
until the smell of chlorine has disappeared
• Hypoclorite residue absorbed by the cysts is neutralized by 0.1 % Sodium Thio-sulfate
