“…The increased use of copepods as live food in commercial fish hatcheries (Delbare et al 1996, Schipp et al 1999 can be explained by the use of different developmental stages of copepods as food source for fish of different sizes. 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.

“…The feasibility of culturing copepods in laboratory environments has been investigated including intensive indoor systems (Stottrup et al, 1986;Vilela, 1992;Sun & Fleeger, 1995;Turk et al, 1998;Schipp et al, 1999). In laboratory trials where copepods have been produced in smaller volume systems, average densities of 185 calanoid copepod nauplii Acartia sp./L (Schipp et al, 1999) to 5,150 harpacticoid copepod nauplii Tisbe holothuriae/L (Stottrup et al, 1986) have been produced.…”

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.

The effect of different salinities on growth, crude protein and total energy on a Mexican strain of the minute rotifer Proales similis (GenBank KM078762) were evaluated. The experiment was conducted at 5, 15, 25 and 35 psu, with five replicates. Rotifers were fed twice a day with Nannochloropsis sp., temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH values were maintained at 25±1°C, 5±1 mg L -1 and 8±1 respectively. Results show that salinity does not affect the intrinsic rate of population growth (r=0.46 to 0.51 day -1 ) and duplication time (Dt=1.36 to 1.51 days) for P. similis. Maximum density (Dmax) values were lower at 35 psu (1,703 rotifers ml -1 ), whereas Dmax values were between 2,488 to 2,560 rotifers ml -1 at 5, 15 and 25 psu. Crude protein fluctuated between 25.3 and 42.8% dry biomass (DB), while energy content varied between 11.8 and 19.9 J mg -1 DB; values were significantly lower at 35 psu. Observed population growth parameters and the protein and energy content between 5-25 psu, indicate that P. similis can be successfully reared below 35 psu, making P. similis very suitable when fish larvae require a small rotifer due to sizing of mouth gap at the beginning of exogenous feeding.
