I have no idea how they are harvested or if there's any left in the ocean, but I assume they are fresh out of the ocean without being washed. They smell horribly bad. The salt scent is too strong and smells rotten.

We got ours through a vendor at Amazon. Paid top dollar. Evidently they are no longer available from the manufacture. Costco used to handle them but not anymore.

I'm pretty sure the clown loaches would eat them. There are very few tropical fish that wouldn't. I believe Chinese algae eaters (name?) are among the only ones that won't.

The ones I bought are the traditional boxes with kid in sailor suit and a prize in each box. They have good so far. We actually have quite few left since we don't eat that manysweets. Very good.

I wondered about that too when I first saw it, then I bought it anyway and tried it and now I'm hooked. So before I gorge on 24 packs I should find this out too. But here's the thing, seaweed has tons of iodine, so you're kinda protected that way, if you want to look at it like that. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify eating these things! lol. I went to their website (seasgift dot com) and here's what it says: "All our seasoned & roasted seaweed are harvested in the west and southwest regions of South Korea." So that's opposite and a little ways south of Fukushima, so any contamination would (presumably) be decaying remnants similar to what American waters are like. (?) Anyway, I feel secure about eating it, as secure as I can be eating from the ocean. The company also says they test for mercury.

I think it's only sea vegetable. The package says that this nori is "premium quality, pre-toasted, ready-to-use dried seaweed/Porphyra Yezoensis." It is harvested from coastal farms off Japan, Korea and North China. This is a certified organic product, product of China, imported by Great Eastern Sun in Asheville, NC - Here's their # 828-665-7790

I believe that is a special order. I get them in a sealed tight water pack and I put them in a small shrimp tank. I have ordered several times from this company and I'm very happy with their service. If you have question's about their ecosphere I'm sure someone will responded to your email.

I always take mine right out of the shipping container and put them into a large (Gallon+) plastic jar with a lid modified with a piece of screen in the cut out plastic top. They can breath but not escape. Then I put a couple of carrots into the jar along with oat flakes (3 or 4 cups). They lasted last year until I had fed them all to the blue birds ... a couple of months+. This is a great supplier ... or has been for us.

There are 30 packets per box. Where are you finding them for &lt; $10???? ;-D I just finished an Offshore yacht race and they came in very handy when the crew became seasick.

I always cared more for where they were caught than where they are packed but the fine print on the back of the package says packed in Poland. My grandma emigrated from Poland so I'm kind of proud that you asked this question because I didn't know the answer until you prompted me to seek it. Bristling sardines are caught off the coast of Norway and they taste really good.

If they were "outlawed" then NO ONE would be allowed to sell them. I had a mimosa (a totally "legal" tree) and it produced HUNDREDS of sprouts every year. I just mowed them down. I'm planning to use the R. Empress leaves as goat fodder. Any new saplings will be dispatched immediately!

I don't know, they seem to really need the salt water/brackish water to live. I think my fish would immediately eat them. :)

I'll add to the first answer as that was how mine was packaged. Our shrimp took three days to get to us since we live in Alaska. We ordered them a couple weeks ago during December. Only two were DOA but they had supplied us with more then 12 so I wasn't too concerned. They are doing well and we've had them for almost a week.

You should be able to find them at any store with aquarium supplies. The biggest writing on the packaging is 'whisper' I hope this helps

I looked all over the rod and couldn't find any. However we drag herring around with them all day. Have even ran HEAVY weights in the ocean with no problem. Hope it helps.
