microscopic crustacean that are instantly
characterized by their intense blood-orange
coloration.”

Under "latest news" they speak of “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” May/June
2001 Issue of Hatchery International.
By the way, Jehmco offers very expensive Cyclop-eeze
flakes

If they are proclaiming their bioengineering in their
seventh year of the project and they are as shy as
they seem in mentioning the species these wee beasties
are, I wonder if they aren't just trying to dazzle the
peasents.
They breathlessly mention that not all eggs hatch
every year, this insures the biodiversity of the
species. That is not so unusual among many seasonal
crustaceans. Heck, even in a pond of annual killifish,
not all eggs may hatch in a specific year. That is a
pretty standard way of protecting the species against
a bad year in the pond.
I don't know what they can't say that they've stumbled
onto a great fish food without the mumbo-jumbo. Maybe
that is done to justify the high prices. ;)
Maybe I'm just grumpy this morning. But commercial
proclamations can make one that way.
Skeptically your,
