Orr Biologicals — the only phytoplankton supplier that treats your larvae like a scientist would

Phytoplankton Information

Research and decide the best phytoplankton strain to grow, perfectly suited for your aquaculture needs. General information about microalgae.

We encourage managers and hobbyists to grow their own microalgae at home when culturing sensitive creatures like copepods, which need live microalgae. This is why we sell high quality phytoplankton grow kits with our expertise. Our live starter cultures can also be potentially used for feeding copepods.
