Guide to the meso-scale production of the copepod Acartia tonsa
This manual is intended as a guide for the daily production of a few million A. tonsanauplii for feeding to marine vertebrates and invertebrates. This scale of production isgreater than most research would require, but smaller than commercial production,hence the term meso-scale production. This manual will briefly describe the biology ofAcartia tonsa Dana that is relevant to culture, the culture methodology for meso-scaleproduction of their eggs and nauplii, the system components utilized in production, andhow to construct a few simple tools useful for this scale of production. Commercialproduction of copepods requires much greater feed production than is described, or thedevelopment of an efficient artificial feed, and, therefore, is not the focus of thismanual.
