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, parks 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
