I only had a couple copepods from each but it looks like I didn't do a very good job, I believe I lost them all. I am very excited that we are starting a class/group on these. I look forward to learning a lot. Thanks to those who made this happen.   #25 THEJRC Total Posts : 1006 Scores: 4 Reward points : 555 Joined: 10/23/2009 Location: Colorado Springs, CO, US Status: offline MBI: 210 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Class/mentoring group description Wednesday, July 27, 2011 8:50 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by BriGuy31+ Well, I tried to get two cultures of copepods going from my free samples acquired from the workshop.

I look forward to learning a lot. Thanks to those who made this happen. Starting cultures from small stressed bottles of critters can be tough, most zooplankton cultures that fail will do so within the first few days.  Important to keep trying!  Makes me wish Alga Gen would post salinity and temp averages on the bottles themselves to help me along when trying to start a culture here.

The ones you are talking about are likely benthic, living on algae that grows on surfaces. If you see their population growing, then you are doing exactly the right things to keep them alive.   The copepods that you'll be working with here do not spend _any_ time on any surface. They have evolved to live in the open waters--mainly around coastlines--and eat the very small phytoplankton that grow in these waters. That's what's great about them! They naturally live and breed in exactly the same situations where you find fish larvae. --Andy, the bucket man.

The little things that look like footballs are O. marina. It starts off at 40x. Later on I switch it to 10x. Then I try to go for 100x. Ha, ha. --Andy, the bucket man.
