Supporting analytical data illustrates that PE Mysis has less Crude Fat (8.35% dry weight) compared to that of the Ocean Fresh (18% dry weight). The PE Mysis also has a higher Protein content (69.5% dry weight) compared to that of the Ocean Fresh (58% dry weight). High Ash content is one parameter that I have always watched. It appears that the PE Mysis is much less (5.5% dry weight) compared to that of your Ocean Fresh (13% dry weight). I cannot compare the heavy metal contents analysis, but do see that they exist within your Ocean Fresh.

I understand that the Aqua Treasures and the PE Mysis Shrimp are harvested from the same freshwater lake, however, I cannot find any comparable analytical data on them. I find them less Oily than the PE Mysis.

so I guess tens of thousands of years of evolution and feeding on food originating from where the fish actually lives have produced obese, unfit and unhealthy fish?....fact is........saltwater fish live, grow, thrive because of their environment and what they eat out there in the wild......we bring them into our little boxes and feed them "suitable substitutes" (in our eyes), get five years out of them and think ......."well he lived five years.....thats pretty dang good"......when, if left in the wild eating OCEAN FRESH plankton (a fatty, low protein, high ash food) they probably would have lived 10, 15, 20 years......now I dont seriously believe that diet is the only factor shortening a captive fishes lifespan, but.........
