The Science of Nutrition

Formulated & Tested by Aquaculture Biologists

Ocean Nutrition diets combine fresh fish protein and seafood with vitamins, minerals and carotenoids to support colour, vitality and the immune system.

Fresh Marine Seafood

Fresh fish protein with seafood such as salmon, plankton, squid, krill, clams and brine shrimp forms the base of the flake formulas.

Soft Moist Pellets

The marine Formula pellets are soft, moist and easily digestible, packed in nitrogen-flushed foil to limit oxidation and keep them fresh.

Vivid Natural Colour

Carotenoids, krill and Spirulina across the range support the natural colouration of marine and freshwater fish.

Clean Water Formula

The flakes, pellets and wafers are formulated not to cloud aquarium water when fed as directed.
