    Woops, thats wrong :D With over 12,000 copepods described, there are some that get QUITE large ;) Definitly big enough to see with the naked eye (IIRC over 1'). I sell one that gets up to 2,500 microns (I count them with the naked eye :D ).

    Yah, Jay, San Fansisco Bay Brand harvests their artemia from pools fed by the pacific ocean. They are old salt ponds, so they're almost always at a elevated SG. When they aren't, they aren't that productive.
