Marinium Plankton Substitutes are highly nutritional food products that have numerous application and benefits for raising marine organisms. The most common application is to serve as food particles for filter feeders such as corals, clams, and gorgonians. However, both plankton subsitutes will also be consumed by live microorganisms that are already existing in the aquarium, promoting microorganism population boom. This in turn will increase the amount of natural live food in the system. Another significant application of Marinium Plankton Substitutes is to enhance the nutritional values of food products by direct inclusion in marine food formulas or live brine shrimp, rotifers and copepods culture. © 2008 Mariscience Int’l Co., Ltd.
