"Hinomaru Bento" is a newly developed diet based on an essential
nutrients required by crustaceans. It also increases immunity by improving
the stress resistance.
"Hinomaru Bento" contains Phospholipids, which is a very important
nutritional source for crustacean. It is an essential constituent for ovarian
maturation and is known as the energy to utilize for growth induction and molting.
In Addition Hinomaru Bento contains Animal cholesterol which crustacean cannot
generate in the body and must ingest from outside. The ingestion of cholesterol
allows a molting hormone secretion and generation of vitamin D6, which stimulate
the ecdysiast behavior. This product also contains mineral element such as calcium,
which prevents molting failure by the effect of cholesterol and mineral. Our
experimental test shows that no molting failure can be seen if no mineral additive
agent is added to aquarium. What matter to fresh-water crustacean, are quantity
of minerals retained in the body and cholesterol as a precursor of molting hormone.
We consider underwater mineral is something extra.
Vitamin C & DHA are elements to be used significantly for crustacean. These
are said to be effective for the tolerance of stress, especially for the heat
tolerance. It is difficult for the crustacean living in water to ingest water-soluble
vitamin C more than 90% of which shall be lost during heat procedure if added
to the food. Furthermore, the vitamin C remaining in the diet will be lost with
time (one month). As this product contains APM which is less susceptible to heat,
vitamin C can be detained as much as possible in the food.
Chlorella is 1/100 size of spirulina, a natural food source that contains an
unusually high amount of protein which microbes eat;
"Hinomaru Bento" adopted "the fresh water chlorella" which
was the best for "bee shrimp".
Another important ingredient is the SG (Shrimp Guard), which is a special supplement
for crustacean developed by Kyushu Medical. This is a product aimed at improving
resistance to crustacean infection. Through our experimental tests carried out
for all crustacean species, this product is proved to be effective for infectious
disorder. However the mechanism on how the resistance improves is unexplained
yet. Once this product was introduced, Shrimp Guard would lead to higher blood
level for 5 to 7 days.
Available for crustacean such as bee shrimp, neocaridina denticuata, caridina
japonica, shellfish such as ram’s horn, and all other dwarf shrimp.
