2、Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture industry

Ecdysterone is a necessary substance for the growth,development,and metamorphosis of aquatic crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs,and is the main raw material for”shelling hormone”;This product is suitable for the artificial cultivation of aquatic crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs,as well as ground dwelling insects.Adding this product can facilitate the smooth shelling of shrimp and crabs,promote consistency in shelling,effectively avoid mutual killing between individuals,and significantly improve the survival rate and product specifications of aquaculture.

Due to the incomplete variety of nutrients in the bait,it is difficult to shell,which affects the normal growth of shrimp and crabs,inevitably making the individual size of cultured shrimp and crabs smaller than that of their natural counterparts.Therefore,adding this product can help shrimp and crabs shell smoothly,improve product specifications,and create higher economic benefits.
