A Zug bottle is aquaculture equipment designed for incubating non-adhesive fish eggs, using an upward airflow to ensure continuous movement and optimal oxygenation.
Mouth-blown glass bottle with bottom water inlet and top section in GRP (glass-reinforced plastic). In aquaculture, it is often used for the incubation of trout, carp, or other fish species eggs. For the first feeding stage, the fry must be transferred to suitable tanks. Available as a bare bottle or as a complete, ready-to-use system.

Main function:
The Zug bottle is used for fish egg incubation, particularly for cyprinids (carps, tench) and other species requiring continuous movement.
Operating principle:
The bottle is filled with water in constant motion, generated by an upward airflow.
Air bubbles create a rotating movement of the eggs, preventing clumping and ensuring optimal oxygenation.
This system mimics a naturally turbulent environment, suitable for incubating non-sticky eggs.
Features:
Cylindro-conical shape, usually in transparent plastic for easy monitoring.
Variable capacity depending on hatchery needs.
Easy to clean and monitor.
Applications:
Incubation of common carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp.
Adaptable to other species that require constant egg movement.
