Copepods are considered relevant live feed for fish larval marine aquaculture. They promote survival and growth rate reduce deformities when used as food source. The cyclopoid copepod Apocyplops royi among others in extensive Taiwanese However, knowledge on its performance intensive cultures is limited. This study investigates parameters that prerequisites before initiating tank with A. royi. W...

Trout stocking in the mid-1960s eliminated the calanoid copepod Hesperodiaptomus arcticus and other largebodied crustaceans such as Gammarus lacustris, Daphnia middendorffiana, and Daphnia pulex from many alpine lakes in the Rocky Mountain Parks of Canada. H. arcticus frequently dominates the plankton communities of fishless lakes, preying on rotifers and nauplius larvae. Following the extirpat...

Over the past decade, numerous molecular phylogenetic studies uncovered cryptic diversity within the Copepoda, yet very few investigations focused on symbiotic copepods. Here we report mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I diversity in the cosmopolitan elasmobranch symbiont Nesippus orientalis off the KwaZulu-Natal coast of South Africa. Analysis of partial COI sequences of copepods sampled fr...

The cyclopoid copepod Dioithona oculata forms swarms in water <30 cm deep among prop roots of red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) which fringe protected areas of two iagoona! cays. Twin Cays. Belize. During 7 of 8 months surveyed by in situ ol^servation, swarms were present but differed in size from small cylindrical swarms (5-10 cm diameter) to bands extending up to 1200 m. Swarms were never obs...

Mesocyclopus scrassus is an insect predatory with environmentally favourable profile. Although malaria in control India, there a possible risk of spread from malarial infected people coming other endemic countries. The probability mosquito vectors several parts necessitates the identification effective and innovative methods. present study focused on identifying biological method for 3rd instar...
