Dragon Roe: Omega 3 Supplementation Made Simple
Why does AlgaeBarn like Dragon Roe?
Compared to many other marine benthos, coral reef fauna (especially small fish and sessile invertebrates) rely heavily on planktonic food sources. Most zooplanktivorous reef inhabitants opportunistically exploit the eggs of other animals. Reef waters are often rich in this nutritious food source, as most reef animals are pelagic spawners (i.e. deposit their eggs into the water column for fertilization, hatching and development). Many, diverse species (fish, corals and many other animals) spawn this way. And they do not hesitate to eat each other’s, or even their own, eggs. Corals happily eat fish eggs, fish eat coral eggs, and so on. But fish eggs (i.e. roe) are an especially valuable food item on reefs, as they are a rich source of precious lipids including Omega fatty acids. As it is so important in the diets of reef animals, roe (e.g. Dragon Roe) should be included among the fare used to feed reef aquarium animals.
