Triops longicaudatis as food?

[word]

this is gonna sound kinda strange, but i came across this: http://www.goldenphoenixexotica.com/triops.html

and thought they might be an interesting alternative for occasional live food for a mantis shrimp if they are easy enough to propogate. i wonder how they are as far as nutritional content.

They are very easy to grow, but they are freshwater and I'm not sure if they would last long enough to be eatten in a SW tank.
