Book cover Basic and Applied Zooplankton Biology

Abstract

Harpacticoid copepods form a vital link in the aquatic food chain. A harpacticoid life begins as fertilized egg and then hatches as a nauplius (6 stages), copepodite (5 stages), and finally becomes an adult. These developmental stages are mainly governed by the environmental parameters. A complete development may take from a week to several months depending upon the species and environmental parameters. The harpacticoid copepod Tisbe spp. are able to synthesize essential fatty acids (EFA) like EPA and DHA from short-chain fatty acids, even when fed with EFA-deficient microalgae and yeast (Nanton and Castell 1998). Although copepods constitute 80% of zooplankton in the ocean, only 60 copepods are cultured at laboratory level (Drillet 2010). Owing to the growing importance on copepods as live feed for larviculture, it is important to know the basic knowledge on its biology. Stottrup (2000) suggested that “A basic knowledge of physiological processes and population dynamics of a species is a prerequisite for the development of rearing techniques.”
