Varicon Aqua: UK Official Distributor for Reed Mariculture Products
Varicon Aqua is the certified UK distributor for Reed Mariculture Instant Algae® products, offering hatcheries and aquaculture operations a comprehensive range of high‑quality, whole‑cell marine microalgae feeds and blends designed for larval fish, shrimp, shellfish, and rotifer production. Instant Algae® concentrates are produced using proprietary phototrophic growth processes to deliver biosecure, intact microalgae cells with their full nutritional value preserved and without the need for hydration. Available in a variety of single‑species and blended formulations, these products provide practical, long‑shelf‑life solutions that eliminate the need for onsite microalgae culture, simplify feeding routines, and support consistent hatchery performance.
Live algae plays a critical role in successful hatchery operations, and Instant Algae® delivers the benefits of natural microalgae nutrition in a convenient form that can be used to supplement or replace traditional live cultures. These products help maintain high rotifer densities, provide essential fatty acids and other key nutrients for early larval stages, and support healthy growth through to later life stages across a wide variety of marine species. With options suitable for green water production, rotifer and copepod feeding, and specialised diets for bivalves and other filter feeders, Reed Mariculture’s Instant Algae® range gives aquaculture teams reliable, high‑performance microalgae feeds that are easy to use and always available when needed.

Why Choose Instant Algae®?
Instant Algae® is an advanced alternative to live algae production, designed to address the common challenges faced by hatchery managers. Producing live algae on-site can account for up to 40% of operational costs, according to the FAO, and requires significant space, energy, and staffing. Instant Algae® eliminates the need for extensive algae rooms, reducing overhead costs while mitigating the risk of culture crashes that could jeopardise larval survival.
Unlike live algae, Instant Algae® offers unmatched convenience and stability, ensuring a guaranteed food supply year-round. It is phototrophically grown, highly concentrated, and free from harmful metabolites. The intact, non-viable cells retain their peak nutritional value and remain in suspension with minimal circulation, making them ideal for greenwater systems, rotifer culture, and feed enrichment.
