Piscine Energetics, makers of PE Mysis aquarium fish food, harvest the shrimp from lake Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada. The patented harvest method removes the shrimp, which are an invasive species, from the lake without damaging native landlocked salmon stocks.

Miss Saltwater tank This really is a great success story. Removing an invasive species, that incidentally is among the best fish foods for picky aquarium fish!

great but they dont eat phytoplankton

Hi! At night time the Mysis shrimp rise to the surface of the water and it is at night when there are eating the phytoplankton which is the natural feed item for the salmon fry... That is how the introduction of the mysis have disrupted the food chain and Piscine Energetics efforts help to remove the mysis therefore reducing competition for the salmon to feed on the natural phytoplankton!.
