I need to order some more soon. Was thinking I would order from brineshrimpdirect again. What is your favorite source and why?

I use Artemia International http://www.artemia-international.com (http://www.artemia-international.com)

This is based on a price comparison done several years ago. May not be current.

You have to buy by the case from them so look at spending $500.00 600.00 plus shipping.

I think there are 12 cans in a case.
I usually buy 2 cans at a time. Lasts me about a year. I send the guy (Jim) an e-mail about what I want and he sends back a message.

These were some recent prices he quoted to me (Feb.1):

2 454g $51.00 $102.00
shipping was extra.
