Default Triops as fish food

I found a bag of triop eggs in my basement, and hatched them in a plastic tub with sand. They lay tons of eggs in the sand, eat anything and don't even need to breed, so they are very easy to propagate. I wonder if baby triop can be used as a fish food, like brine shrimp?

I don't see why not. I just haven't the slightest clue as to what their nutritional value might be. Something to consider as to why brine shrimp are so popular.

All fish enjoy hunting down live food, but I would keep them down as a snack and not a staple food.
