“…Experimental trials comparing survival and growth with several strains of rotifers and copepods (Acartia tonsa) also showed an increase in snook larval survival. These findings agree with Doi et al, (1997a,b) and Toledo et al, (1997) found nauplii of copepods to be effective when fed to red spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides and with Støttrup et al, (1997) who found an increase in larval survival when rotifer feeding was supplemented with Tisbe sp copepod.…”

“…The high nutritional value of copepods, which is characterized by a rich content in phospholipids, highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), and natural antioxidants (Watanabe et al 1983, Kraul et al 1992, Sargent et al 1997, Støttrup and Nosker 1997, Støttrup 2000, Helland et al 2003, can also explain their actual broad use in aquaculture.…”

Egg production in the copepod Acartia tonsa was evaluated using different densities of the microalgae Thalassiosira weissflogii, Chaetoceros muelleri and Isochrysis galbana. Male and female were kept under controlled conditions (salinity 30, 20 • C, photoperiod 12L:12D), acclimated to the experimental conditions and left over a period of 24 h to allow copulation. Algal densities tested were equivalent in biovolume and corresponded to 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60.10 3 cells.mL −1 of T. weissflogii. Ten acclimated female were separated, transferred to glass bottles and exposed for further 24 h to the corresponding experimental medium. After this period, the eggs were fixed and counted. Copepod egg production reached a threshold value when T. weissflogii, C. muelleri and I. galbana were supplied at 10.10 3 , 140.10 3 and 640.10 3 cells.mL −1 , respectively. Mean egg production corresponded to 28.0 ± 0.5, 20.1 ± 1.0 and 22.0 ± 3.5 eggs.female −1 .day −1 , respectively. Copepods fed T. weissflogii showed the highest mean egg production while those fed I. galbana reached a maximum egg production when the algae were supplied at a density two-to fourfold higher, considering the biovolume of T. weissflogii and C. muelleri. These differences are explained considering the different sizes of the microalgae used to feed the copepods.

“…Maximum density of 26,000 harpacticoid copepod nauplii Tigriopus brevicornis/L (Vilela, 1992) and 33,000 cyclopoid copepod nauplii A. royi/L (Cheng et al, 2001) have been reported in laboratory systems. However, intensive laboratory copepod production systems have been difficult to maintain over extended periods of time (Stottrup & Norsker, 1997).…”

Growth of marine copepods is influenced by feed. The purposes of this trial were to observe both growth and fatty acid compositions of harpacticoid copepod nauplii, Tisbe holothuriae by feeding with several microalgal species in laboratory: (A) Isochrysis tahiti; (B) Nannochloropsis oculata; (C) Rhodomonas sp., and (D) Tetraselmis chuii. The trial was carried out for 35 days with randomized complete design and triplicates in each treatment. The results showed that final copepod nauplii densities were not significantly different (P>0.05) in all treatments. However, lipid content of copepod nauplii fed with T. chuii was significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to that of other treatments while fatty acid profiles of EPA, DHA and DHA/EPA ratios showed both insignificant and significant differences among treatments.
