Glacial region, Ha! Every time I see that in the PE advertising I laugh. They catch the mysis in Okanagan Lake, the boats anchor about 100m from my parents' house. The mysis were actually artificially introduced to the lake many years back with the hope of providing a food source for kokanee in the lake; problem was, the adult shrimp actually outcompeted the kokanee fry for food, and the kokanee stock in the lake crashed. Now companies (Hikari and PE included) receive government kickbacks to try and reduce the number of mysis in the lake to help the kokanee recover. All while they charge a premium for shrimp from "glacial-fed" lakes. More like gasoline/motor oil-fed.

Good fish food tho.
