  • Optimization of salinity levels for the culture of cyclopoid copepod Dioithona oculata (Farran, 1913)

    Cyclopoid copepod, Dioithona oculata, is a common free-living euryhaline species in tropical and temperate waters having potential as live feed in marine fish larval rearing. Here, the effect of salinity on adult and naupliar survival, total population, population composition, clutch production, clutch size, development rate and adult longevity was investigated. Adult copepods survived the abrupt changes in salinities from 15 to 50?ppt (parts per thousand). The highest naupliar survival was at 30?ppt (86.33?±?2.84%) and the lowest at 15?ppt (12.6?±?2.34%). The highest production was at 30?ppt (883.0?±?5.5 individuals/L) and the lowest at 15?ppt (49.0?±?6.56 individuals/L). The proportion of nauplii was higher at salinities from 20 to 40?ppt, whereas the total population of copepodites and adults was significantly less at 15 and 45?ppt. The highest clutch production was observed at 30?ppt (8.6?±?0.54 clutches) and the lowest at 45?ppt (2.6?±?0.54 clutches). Maximum clutch size of D.
