| Methodologies |
| Feeding Tactics/Medium: |
The culture is kept continually green/brown with live phyto, often pretty "dark." I use motile algaes that seem to settle less (Tetraselmis or Isochrysis) and usually only need to add phyto once or twice over a month or two.
|
| Split Cycle: |
As needed based on either density, or need for the copepods. Usually do a small harvest once every week or two, extensive harvest/split perhaps once a month. I don't entirely replace the water unless absolutely necessary or moving to a new container. |
| Split Yield: |
Not measured, but usually take several hundred copepods and either feed them to something or start a new container. |
| Number of Cultures: |
3 |
| Number of Splits: |
Not counted, but at least 20 |
| Density: |
Not counted
|
| Harvest Methology: |
When the population looks dense enough I harvest by siphoning them out, then replace the water I removed with sterilized ASW (1/2mL per liter bleach sterilized, 1 1/2mL per L of 1M sodium thiosulfate neutralized) |
| Adjustments Made: |
None |
