Say goodbye to unpleasant smells in your refrigerator and the hassle of making cubes. With Ocean Prime Copepods Liquid, you will enjoy easy handling, dosing, and storage. Copepods are tiny crustaceans that are considered the world’s largest bio-resource, and they are essential for many aquatic species at various stages of their life cycles. They are a popular food source for fish, larval fish, corals, jellyfish, shrimps, filter feeders, and many more.

Ocean Prime Copepods Liquid boasts a nutritional profile that meets the needs of fish, crustaceans, invertebrates, and corals. The typical lipid content ranges from 10-15%, while the protein content is about 50% of dry weight. These lipids are rich in essential fatty acids such as DHA and EPA, and they also contain high levels of pigments like astaxanthin.

These copepods are harvested from clean, unpolluted Arctic waters using eco-friendly methods. The preservation technique used involves no harmful additives, ensuring that the nutritional quality is significantly better compared to frozen feeds. Ocean Prime Copepods are 100% clean and do not require any pre-rinsing before use. The product is sterilized for bio-security, which minimizes nutrient leakage.

Ocean Prime Copepods are suitable for both saltwater and freshwater fish, corals, invertebrates, and crustaceans. When used as a supplementary feed, Ocean Prime plays a vital role in enhancing coloration, growth, and survivability. Thanks to its buoyancy, this product has an excellent capture rate by reef invertebrates like corals and crustaceans. Fish also eagerly accept this unique food. Additionally, Ocean Prime can serve as a complete replacement for artemia or brine shrimp. By incorporating up to 25% Ocean Prime into your fish’s diet, you can expect increased immune resistance and enhanced sexual maturity.
