In the far north of the Canadian Arctic a project of very large proportions is entering its seventh year. Scientists from Argent Laboratories have succeeded in commercializing a unique Arctic copepod measuring about 800 microns, just a little larger than freshly hatched Artemia nauplii. Because of its nutritional profile it can be prepared in a number of ways, and the products used for several purposes, such as the rearing of larval shrimps and marine fishes, as a colour enhancer, for augmenting brood stock condition, and in general for enhanced survival of cultivated species. It can substitute for costly Artemia, where its performance exceeds that of even nutrient-enhanced Artemia nauplii. Its commercial name is CYCLOP-EEZE®.
