Brine shrimp (Artemia sp.) are tiny crustaceans harvested from solar evaporation ponds and are rich in proteins, lipids, and carotenoid pigments (bright yellow, red, and orange colors). Their ability to produce dormant eggs, referred to as cysts, has led to extensive use of brine shrimp in aquaculture and the ornamental fish industry.

Freeze-dried foods have had a few of the water removed for prolonged stability and storage, eliminating the need for preservatives whilst maintaining a few of the original product’s flavor, color, texture, and nutritional value.

Freeze-drying is a process where the product is set on shelves in a drying chamber and frozen. Once frozen, the air is removed from the chamber by a vacuum pump, and the shelves are heated. As the shelves warm, the ice sublimates (becomes gas without a liquid phase) out of the product and collects on condensers; this removes the water from the product, so it maintains its structural integrity and flavor. This process makes storage convenient and extends shelf life. The addition of water can quickly and easily rehydrate the original product.

Freeze-dried fish foods may also be fed whole or crumbled between your fingers. They may be able to be used to take in liquid vitamins, supplements, or medications for easy administration. Additionally, they provide essential nutrients that help handle high energy levels, health, and wellness. Fish digest them easily, benefitting water quality, allowing you to enjoy your aquarium.
