Zoo and Aquarium Species Directory
McRoberts Sales Co., Inc. is proud to provide the 3rd Edition of our Seafood Directory for your use as a reference guide. The seafood shown in this brochure represents typical items that we inventory for zoos and aquariums. While these species make up our primary inventory, we can supply all types of seafood to meet your individual needs. The analysis guides shown on each page are the results found in a random sampling by ABC Research Corporation, a laboratory contracted by McRoberts Sales Co., Inc. It is not to be construed that all fish of that particular species will consistently contain the same ratios. It is highly recommended that you seek a laboratory to perform tests that meet your specifications. It has been our pleasure to create this brochure for your use and convenience. We welcome all inquiries for your seafood needs. Please call our staff Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST 813.645.2561 Kathi L. Davis, President Michelle Garis, Sec./Tres.
