Abstract

A food for fish and invertebrates which is compatible with the ecology in a closed circuit salt water aquarium containing both fish and invertebrates contains broken sea urchin eggs, water, sodium nitrite, sodium chloride, and citric acid. The food is compounded by breaking the sea urchin eggs and blending them with the preservatives and water, and by pasturizing the blended material. In preferred form, the food is also homogenized.
