Planktonic® Marine Plankton
Frozen and Freeze Dried

Calanus copepods are widely distributed in major oceanic areas. Calanus is a major component in the diet of many marine animals, having an important role in the maintenance of ecosystems. Millions of tons are present in the world oceans.


Using patents pending technology, Calanus is carefully harvested to preserve the integrity and condition of the copepod.


Calanus has a balanced nutritional composition of unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, carotenoids including astaxanthin, vitamins, minerals, essential trace elements and antioxidants.


Calanus contains large quantities of wax esters which are a vital nutritional component in the diet of many fish and invertebrates.


Calanus lives in marine waters at the base of the food web, making it virtually free of pollutants. Calanus contains significant quantities of natural astaxanthin and a number of additional carotenoids.


All of these features make Calanus and its product derivatives a very valuable nutritional resource.

Frozen:

  • Of extremely high quality, Zoolife frozen Calanus is of great value in the captive reproduction and maintenance of many species of fish and invertebrates.
  • It is suitable for a wide range of species and is ideal in particle size to fit between artemia and mysid. This assists the captive rearing of many species including the Sygnathidae.

Freeze Dried:

  • High quality freeze dried natural plankton providing a convenient floating feed for many species of fish. Whilst applications in some systems are limited by surface skimming, this product is highly palatable and rapidly consumed making surface feeding possible in many situations. This offers a convenient feeding method.

Storage:

  • Keep the package sealed between use and store in a cool dry atmosphere.
  • Best before date, batch code and registration number shown on pack
  • For animal use only.
  • Keep out of the reach of children.
