Aquaculture salt — hatchery-grade Egyptian sea salt with fish-health metal limits
Aquaculture salt is dosed into hatchery tanks, transport water and recirculating systems to hold salinity, reduce osmotic stress and control ectoparasites. The parameters that matter are not the ones on an industrial datasheet: heavy metals must sit well below fish-toxicity thresholds, the salt must dissolve clean with no insoluble haze, and it must carry no iodine, anti-caking agent or ferrocyanide. Egypt Globe Group supplies a dedicated hatchery-grade SKU, PS-SEA-AQUA-M, from North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and Red Sea (Ain Sokhna) sea salt, vacuum-evaporated to ≥ 98.5 % NaCl with the natural marine trace-ion balance retained, heavy-metal tested by ICP-MS on every lot. Siwa / Qattara rock salt pool and aquaculture cuts (≥ 97 % NaCl, low Ca / Mg) are listed in the bulk salt catalogue for brine make-up where sea-salt ionic profile is not required.
Supply is in 50 kg PP bags, 1 MT FIBC or bulk vessel, 240 MT containerised minimum, 2–3 weeks lead time, Halal certified. Hatcheries that have sourced from inconsistent regional exporters have seen the result of an unverified lot in a broodstock tank. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has operated since incorporation in 2014; specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract, and a lot outside its CoA is rejected at the port, never re-graded or renegotiated.
