Culturing Journal DataSheet
This first post should be updated regularly to include new information as events take place or changes are made to your system General Species: Tigriopus californicus Species description: Harpacticoid copepod Culture source (link if possible ): I harvested these from my outdoor tubs that I culture them in during the summer. If algae, CCMP # (ref http://ccmp.bigelow.edu/ ): Culturing Vessel Details Salinity: ~1.020 Temperature: Ambient, ~70°F Vessel description: Rectangular plastic tubs Lighting description: Ambient Lighting cycle: Aeration description: Rigid airline with slow flow Methodologies Split methodology: Harvest as needed Culture medium description: SW at 1.020SG Cell count: (if known) Reference links: Additional Information I have cultured these copepods outside during the past two summers in BRTs. The initial plan was to culture rotifers but I ended up with copepods. I start the outdoor cultures in the spring, April'ish, when things start to warm up. This summer was very hot and I had to shade the BRTs to keep them cooler during certain periods. Population growth is better during the cooler periods. This journal is for my attempt to culture them indoors over the winter. I started three different containers with varying concentrations of copepods to start with to see if that makes any difference. You will be required to provide photographic evidence and as much detail as possible about your project in this thread.
If your thread does not contain detailed enough photos and information the MBI Council will not be able to approve your reports.
