This document discusses the nutritional requirements and feeding regimes for shrimp. It outlines that shrimp require proteins, lipids, energy, cholesterol and other nutrients. It then describes BernAqua's unique feeding regime that provides customized nutrition for different shrimp growth stages, including using microalgae, Bactosafe, Nannogreen, Artemia cysts, Spirulina, and Biosphere. Various liquid and dry diets are discussed that help promote shrimp growth and survival while maintaining healthy tank conditions.
