Aquaculture
Fish farms, hatcheries, aquaria, marine-life support — fish-health-grade metal limits. Vacuum-evaporated sea salt NaCl ≥ 98.5 %, insolubles ≤ 0.10 %, no iodine or anti-caking, ICP-MS panel on every lot.
Aquaculture-grade salt for fish farms, hatcheries and aquaria
Commercial fish-farm operators, hatchery managers, marine aquarium builders and ornamental-fish breeders use aquaculture-grade salt for water-chemistry management — pH balancing, osmotic-stress reduction, parasite control and brackish-water make-up. Egypt Globe Group supplies hatchery-grade vacuum-evaporated sea salt from the North Sinai and Red Sea pans at NaCl ≥ 98.5 %, insolubles ≤ 0.10 %, with no iodine and no anti-caking agent, and an ICP-MS heavy-metal panel on every lot.
Fish are the most sensitive assay instrument in the supply chain: ferrocyanide anti-caking, iodine or a heavy-metal excursion shows up as mortality, not as a lab result. The group's Quality Assurance division excludes additives at the process stage and confirms the panel at the port laboratory before the Certificate of Analysis and B/L are issued — lots outside specification are rejected at the loading port.
Industry requirements
