Fish eggs will be transferred to one of the six Mc Donald hatching jars of the fish incubation system plug and play. Each hatching jar has a volume of 8 litres at a density of max. 20,000 - 60,000 eggs per jar (depending on species), resulting in a total density of 360,000 eggs per cycle. Please check out our smaller fish incubation system (with three hatching jars) if you require a system for smaller production. After hatching the yolk sac fry will flow out of the jar into a white reception tank. After complete yolk sac absorption, the fry should be transferred to a follow up system.
