Piscine Energetics manufactures sustainable aquaculture and aquarium fish food supplying aquaculture markets, Zoos and Public Aquariums, and aquarium hobbyists with fish tanks. Mysis perform a daily 500ft vertical migration in near freezing water in order to feed on micro algae, phytoplankton and zooplankton near the surface of the lake. As a result of the energy required to make this vertical mig

ration, they store remarkable levels of beneficial Omega 3 and Omega 6 unsaturated fatty acids, long chain amino acid proteins, powerful antioxidants and color enhancing caratenoids such as astaxanthin. Mysis are therefore an incredibly nutritious feed source for fish, corals, flamingos and even butterflies and were introduced to BC in the hopes that they would be a good feed source for native fish, boosting aquaculture. However instead, they disrupted the natural food web by outcompeting the juvenile Kokanee salmon, having a negative effect on native fish populations. Piscine Energetics stepped in by pioneering proprietary harvesting technology for the removal of invasive aquatic organisms and now transforms them into sustainable, premium fish food. PE Mysis are harvested at night as they feed and flash frozen in order to provide your fish and corals with a fresh, naturally gut loaded, nutritionally complete and life like food source. For over a decade, under the auspices of the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Piscine Energetics has been simultaneously restoring the natural food web in BC lakes whilst transforming invasive shrimp into sustainable fish food, supplying global aquaculture markets, Zoos, Public Aquariums, and the pet industry for aquarium hobbyists.

We are incredibly proud to be champions of the future generations of aquarists!

I am often asked the question HOW DOES CENTRAL CAMPUS DO IT? From planes to pigs to autobody shops to full CNA labs to our state of the art aquarium, it is incredible what our students get to work with.

One reason we are able to do what we do is through the support of partners and donors. Nuri Fischer from Piscine Energetics is one of those game changers.

Piscine Energetics (www.mysis.com) has repeatedly helped supply frozen mysis to our lab when our budgets have run short with either donated food or special discounts to get us through the school year. Nuri even created a fund-raising event that he presented to the public aquarium industry and raised $4,500 to donate to Central Campus to make sure our fish were well fed during a period when our budgets were extremely tight.

Thank you, Nuri Fisher!

Not only do we support conservation initiatives, but did you know that we also support hobby clubs?

A couple of years ago, members of the Dallas Fort Worth Marine Aquarium Society suffered devastating losses from an ice storm that the Texas powergrid was unprepared for. We are so happy to help DFWMAS in their "bounce back" initative. We love seeing happy faces and doing our part to help the hobbyist community!

A couple of days ago, we shared the work Project Piaba is doing in the Amazon to help create a sustainable fishery for the hobby.

Today is World Rainforest Day, a day to highlight climate change and biodiversity loss as the two greatest existential crises of our time. Protect standing forests; their biodiversity, their carbon stocks, and their communities are key to securing a thriving future for us and our planet.

As a hobbyist, there are many ways that you can get involved to ensure that the Amazonian fish you are putting in your tanks are coming from ethical and sustainable resources. Everytime you buy a fish, you could be saving a tree!

Want to get even more involved? Project Piaba has an expedition planned for September of this year and are looking for hobbyist volunteers to join them!

ABOUT PISCINE ENERGETICS:

We are a company on a Mission… To save Okanagan Lake!... “One Shrimp at a Time!”

Piscine Energetics Inc. (Piscine) is an environmental agrotechnology company ON A MISSION to restore fish populations to their natural levels through the management of invasive mysis shrimp. Piscine pioneered harvesting methodologies for sustainable removal of Mysis shrimp which were deliberately introduced to Lake Okanagan in the 1960’s by the Ministry of Environment, Mysis shrimp was intended to provide a natural food source to improve fish stocks. Regrettably, introduction of Mysis backfired, proving to be harmful to fish in Okanagan Lake. Mysis shrimp exploded into uncontrollable numbers, the natural food web was disturbed and juvenile salmon began to starve, as mysis shrimp compete for the same microscopic feed items in the lake.

Over the past two decades, Piscine Energetics has developed into a vertically integrated, “from Skipper to Sales Staff” boutique fish feed manufacturer; simultaneously removing and transforming invasive mysis shrimp into fish feed supplying Zoos and Public Aquariums, ornamental tropical fish hobbyist and the global aquaculture markets while helping to restore the natural ecosystem in Lake Okanagan!!
