    Small but significant difference

    Calanus finmarchicus’s ecological adaptation and biochemical composition differs from other marine organisms harvested today. That’s why it’s the source of novel products with unique properties, including:

    • Zooca® SeaFrozen, whole copepods frozen within minutes after harvesting.
    • Zooca® Canned (in development), whole copepods sterilized and packed in hermetic cans.

    These products of the Zooca® Complete series are suitable as starter and weening feed for larval and juvenile shrimp in aquaculture, and as complete feed for ornamental fish. Copepods, such as C. finmarchicus, are the starter feed for shrimp in their natural habitat, and thus features an optimal nutritional composition of protein, oil and chitin for shrimp in post-larval stages. Zooca® SeaFrozen and Zooca® Canned display excellent buoyancy, and performance benefits include improved survival, growth rate and pigmentation.
