A process for preserving and storing nematodes having an increased feeding value for later use as needed in the feeding of aquaculture organisms. In this process, nematodes are enriched with an additive such as essential fatty acids, vaccines, hormones, immunostimulants, attractants, nutrients and pigments. Liposomes can serve as a medium for feeding the additives to the nematodes. The enriched nematodes are then desiccated by inducing a quiescent anhydrobiosis (dehydration) and stored for off-the-shell use as needed. When required for feeding, the desiccated enriched nematodes are rehydrated and fed to the aquaculture organisms.

L'invention concerne un procédé de conservation et de stockage de nématodes dotés d'une valeur nutritive accrue et destinés à une utilisation ultérieure comme dans le cas de l'alimentation d'organismes d'aquaculture. Dans ce procédé, des nématodes sont enrichis au moyen d'un additif, tel que des acides gras essentiels, des vaccins, des hormones, des immunostimulants, des substances attractives, des agents nutritifs et des pigments. Des liposomes peuvent servir de support d'alimentation des additifs dans les nématodes. Les nématodes enrichis sont ensuite soumis à une dessiccation par anhydrobiose quiescente (déshydratation) et stockés aux fins d'utilisation ordinaire selon les besoins. Lorsque les nématodes enrichis et desséchés sont utilisés comme aliments pour animaux, ils sont réhydratés et délivrés aux organismes d'aquaculture.
