SaVeThEeELs Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 im not sure how this will help.......lots of experimenting left to do before its sucsessful.......its not even data from mandarins.......but possibly the same problem -Trials conducted during the West Australian dhufish spawning season of summer 1999 determined that growth and survival of larvae was greatly increased by provision of cultured copepods as food. As a result of these trials, intensive 1000 l copepod cultures were established at the Aquaculture Development Unit (ADU; Fremantle, Western Australia). To date, production of nauplii from these intensive cultures has not been sufficient to enable large-scale culture of dhufish larvae. An alternative strategy for using copepods to rear dhufish larvae is to add adult copepods directly to dhufish larviculture tanks. Algae is then added to these tanks to promote production of nauplii by these adult copepods. These nauplii are then predated by larval fish. This method of larviculture is similar to the standard greenwater larviculture techniques used at ADU with the main difference being the addition of adult copepods. This study aimed to develop techniques for incorporating copepods into greenwater larviculture tanks for successful rearing of dhufish larvae on a commercial scale. Six separate components of this project are summarised below just becareful you dont filter them out i guess....... http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/pub/adcrepo...pepods.php?0308 Link to comment

Titre du document / Document title Intensive cultivation of the calanoid copepod Gladioferens imparipes Auteur(s) / Author(s) PAYNE M. F. (1) ; RIPPINGALE R. J. (1) ; Affiliation(s) du ou des auteurs / Author(s) Affiliation(s) (1) Department of Environmental Biology, School of Resource Science and Technology, Curtin University of Technology, GPO Box U1987, Perth, 6845, AUSTRALIE Résumé / Abstract In aquaculture, inclusion of copepod nauplii in the diet of larval fish may increase the number of fish species that can be successfully reared. Pelagic nauplii of calanoid copepods are more available as food items for most marine fish larvae than the predominantly epibenthic nauplii of harpacticoid copepods. However, sustained and substantial production of calanoid copepod nauplii is difficult. Intensive copepod cultures allow reliable and sustained production while utilising less space than extensive culture systems. Three intensive culture techniques for the temperate water estuarine calanoid copepod Gladioferens imparipes are described. These techniques comprise 60-and 500-1 batch cultures and 1000-1 semi-continuous cultures. Five hundred-litre cultures are part of a recirculating system that features automated nauplius collection and water treatment. Standardised nauplius production, expressed as number of nauplii produced per litre of culture vessel per day, is given for each technique. 878 ± 46 nauplii/l culture vessel/day was achieved over 420 days for G. imparipes cultured in 500-1 vessels. Standardised nauplius production is compared with published data from other copepod culture systems.

SaVeThEeELs Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 a larval reef tank??? is that what its gonna take??? i dunno if im advanced enough for this........ ill start the prodject soon as i get back home..... Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 this will not be easy =even more info on breeding copepods..... http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/feb2003/breeder2.htm has pictures of the culture tanks they use.... =larval fish being raised....flame angel and yellow tang...plus links to other sites also has great pics, diffrent larval stages they go through... ack!!! they can be bred!!! just not comercial yet! they have a manual for breeding live foods???

SaVeThEeELs Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 more useless info.... culturing mysid shrimp, how to build brood tanks for them..how to stimulate breeding if a corperation gets to it before me, ill be P0d!! http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4389974.html Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Ive thought about this as well, but dont have the room right now. or the time. Link to comment
