Cyclop-eeze are derived from the family of copepod grown in a pristine, arctic salina in the north of Canada. Cyclop-eeze thrive during the short spring and summertime season. They forage on Spirulina rich in the highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA?s) and biological pigments. More importantly, the Cyclop-eeze are busy synthesizers of HUFA?s, especially the important omega (w-3) variety. Our previous research showed that the pigments were simply accumulated by Cyclop-eeze in proportion to its abundance in their diets. The pigments protected Cyclop-eeze from harmful photodynamic effects of visible lights. Our research also showed that cold water temperature contributed positively to the brilliant orange color and active behavior of Cyclop-eeze. The special salt lake (pH 9.7, Salinity 72 ppt) where Cyclop-eeze grow is unique as it is very rich in a wide variety of inorganic chemicals, several of which are important elements in specific needed for the production of HUFA?s and biological pigments. Upon harvest, the Cyclop-eeze are immediately deep frozen so that the important nutrients are retained. Shortly thereafter, the frozen blocks are taken to the Argent plant for freeze drying (lyophilization).
- Cyclop-eeze are biologically engineered and cultivated organism, with much higher concentration of HUFA?s and biopigments than Artemia and can be an ideal substitute of Artemia.
- Cyclop-eeze can be widely used to feed all kinds of aquatic animals, especially, shrimp, ornamental fish, etc.
- Cyclop-eeze can be an excellent color booster and immune stimulator for shrimp and fish.
- Cyclop-eeze have potential immunization chemicals and strong attractants.
