Continued use of phytoplankton will result in a reduced growth of unsightly algal films. Copepods will be more numerous and more nutritious, conferring distinct health benefits to finicky zooplanktivorous fishes such as mandarins and seahorses.
Benefits Of Feeding Phytoplankton
• Brighter coloured corals • Faster coral growth • Greater polyp extension • Increased number of micro fauna • Increased zooplankton and copepod populations • Mysid populations will bloom due to the increase in copepods. Phytoplankton is high in EPA and ARA, but low in DHA. |
