Dried Krill, Pacifica
Krill (Euphausia pacifica) is similar nutritionally to its cousin, Euphausia superba, but is about one-third the size, approximately .25 to .5 inches in length.
Krill is a rich source of carotenoids, including astaxanthin, that will bring out the colors in both marine and freshwater fish.
Proper handling and low-temperature drying keeps natural flavourants, proteins and lipids largely intact.
Powerful flavourants contained in krill act as an attractant to many species of fish. The use of krill as a feed supplement is especially helpful to develop a feeding response in many fish.
Proximate analysis: Protein, 60%; Fat, 8%; Carbohydrates, 11%; Ash, 10%; Moisture, 5%; Astaxanthin (pigment), 150 - 200 ppm.
