Good Morning ! (Just barely)

    I was purging my e-mail (too slowly because I have to check out
everything deleted) and ran across your comments on cyclops. I have in my
hand, when not typing, a can of freeze dried cyclops - billed as  "artemia
nauplii replacement". The 30 gram container has a biological pigments chart
which lists Beta-carotene, Astaxanthin, and Canthaxaxthin. Two HUFAs are
also supposed to be included, making up in the neighborhood of 24% of the
analysis. The Brand is Cyclop-eeze by Argent Chemical Co.

    I got this from Jeff Magnus, when the subject came up a couple of weeks
ago, while I was pursuing Charlie Grimes' Mardel connection... Jeff lives
"not too far" from you in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. His phone number is
414-723-1166. He has an e-mail address of Jmag at elknet_net

    I'' probably grub up something else this afternoon, vis-a-vis the
convention. TTTL
