Frozen Marine Phytoplancton ?

[ocram]

Hi,

Does anybody know a source to buy frozen marine phytoplancton (T. Iso, I. Galbana, Rhodomonas, etc.) ?

It does not need to be alive, but should be marine phyto (not spirulina/chlorella) that can be fed to filter feeders.

Simply freezing a liquid product on your own can - of course - be problemeatic and can damage the cell walls, which leads to leeking.

Thanks
Marco

Reed Mariculture. An excellent source for both hobbyist and professional's. I believe they do ship internationally, so you should be able to get some of their phytos.

Thank you bill. However, they do not have frozen to my knowledge and adviced me not to freeze their liquid phytoplancton products...

Take a look at these algae pastes. They store in the freezer, but won't freeze, so the cells won't rupture.
