Whales and aquarists are waiting for their Arctic plankton

Summer has finally reached the Arctic. The water temperatures have increased slightly and there is enough light during the long and sunny days. And the vegetable and animal plankton (zooplankton) is beginning to reproduce massively! Whales have begun to catch fresh plankton, and so have plankton catchers for JBL PlanktonPur. The plankton is caught with special plankton nets, then sieved, cleaned and it is afterwards conserved with a thermal process without preservatives. After only two weeks it arrives, freshly packed, from Norway, at JBL in Neuhofen and to continue its journey to the pet shops in every corner of the planet.

JBL PlanktonPur consists of pure zooplankton which represents a pure, colouring food for ornamental fish, which is extremely rich in energy. Sealed for freshness, it is available as 2 and 5 g sticks. Make sure you get your freshly caught plankton from the Arctic. You can’t feed your fish with a more healthy and varied food!

By the way: Don’t be worried about taking food away from whales. JBL’s annual ration of PlanktonPur corresponds to the quantity which escapes from the closing mouths of only ONE pod of whales when they are feeding. Even when the whales have had enough, there still is so much plankton available that it mainly dies off at the end of the season.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
