Ocean Prime Copepods Liquid 500-700 microns 50ml

Ocean Prime Copepods Liquid 500-700 microns 50ml have a nutritional profile that meets the requirements of fish.

Say goodbye to unpleasant odors in your refrigerator and the hassle of making feeding cubes. With Ocean Prime Copepods, you will enjoy easy handling, dosing, and storage. Copepods are tiny crustacean zooplankton that represent the largest bio-resource in the world. Many aquatic species depend on copepods at various stages of their life cycle. They are a food source for fish, larval fish, corals, jellyfish, shrimp, filter feeders, and much more.

Ocean Prime Copepods Liquid offers 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, which are bound to phospholipids, and they also contain high levels of pigments like astaxanthin.

Harvested from clean, unpolluted Arctic waters using eco-friendly methods, Ocean Prime Copepods are preserved without harmful additives, ensuring superior nutritional quality compared to frozen feeds. They are 100% clean and do not require pre-rinsing before use. The product is sterilized for bio-security, which helps minimize nutrient leakage.

These copepods are suitable for both saltwater and freshwater fish, corals, invertebrates, and crustaceans. When used as a supplementary feed, Ocean Prime plays a crucial role in promoting coloration, growth, and overall survivability. Thanks to their buoyancy, Ocean Prime copepods are easily captured by reef invertebrates like corals and crustaceans, and fish readily accept this unique food. Ocean Prime can even 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 improved immune resistance and enhanced sexual maturity.

Ocean Prime Liquid comes in 50ml bottles equipped with a pipette, containing copepods sized between 500-700 microns.
