They hit on all the important points in the literature — low dust, low in phosphorous and good hydrostability to minimizes the release of nutrients. They note the foods are based on raw materials of “marine origin” including marine crustaceans, fish and mollusks along with algae and seaweed. They also are designed to improve fish and
