Any information out there on comparing the nutional value of commonly used (small) live foods? Brine nauplii, rotifers, microworms, etc? I know the brine debate is a discussion on its own, but I am looking more or less for a side by side comparison of live foods for aquatic use.


Thanks.
Nick L.

That source has krill, arctic copepods, and crystal red river shrimp, too.
