-
Fish are so attracted to the taste and smell of artemia that it is also being developed as an attractant to make plant-derived protein more palatable to fish.
-
The carotenoid-rich artemia will be sold under the trade name NutremiaTM, or through licensed distributors to the aquarium market.
-

-

-
The artemia project has been jointly funded by the DoFWA, FRDC and Cognis Australia Pty Ltd.
