Influence of Microalgae Diets on the Biological and Growth Parameters of (Copepoda: Cyclopoida).

Several species of the planktonic free-living genus have been successfully used in the larviculture of marine fish and shrimp. However, few studies have been published that allow us to estimate the potential of culture under controlled conditions. This work evaluated the effect of the microalgae and as single (200,000 cells/mL) and mixed diets (100,000 + 100,000 cells/mL) on population and individual growth, ingestion rate, number of spawnings, fertility, development time by stage, and sex ratio of .
