Zach, Nice picture of a calanoid copepod you've got there! It just doesn't look like a Parvocalanus crassirostris to me. Check my avatar. That is P. crassirostris. My image is of a copepod with a much more squat, ovoid prosome shape. Yours has a much more elongated, torpedo-shaped prosome. I think yours is more consistent with Acartia tonsa. Please see my A. tonsa journal here: http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/tm.aspx?m=59805 and follow the Reference Links in the first post. Then, follow this link, and examine the morphological images on this page: http://copepodes.obs-bany...en/fichesp.php?sp=1090 You might consider discussing this with your vendor.

Thanks Jim! The culture by now I believe had died off, but I will doublecheck. Just for future purposes, do you have any site recommendations on where I can get some parvo?
