I am going to paste all of the Zooplankton resources here for awhile.
I'll try to organize later.
Good German site (Thanks Sylvio)

HI there - I have some helpful info on my websites about how to rear copepods, check out the FAQ's at:

www.oceanpods.com

I also did a one hour show on www.talkingreef.com, podcast #69

So check it out and let me know what you think!

Really great basic copepods overview.

["Umm, fish?"]

A good book with a GREAT bibliography. I found it at the local university library. Some good stuff on calanoid copepods, pointing to papers with instructions on rearing set-ups (I haven't tracked down those papers yet).

Came across this website and A tonsa culture manual yesterday. Looks pretty good. Wondering why I had never seen it before?

Good find Li Chieh! I´m also surprised to see it,though I am not now as much of a pod news lurker as I used to be! In fact,I corresponded with Nancy and her staff in the past about their copepod resting eggs.
This is a new publication anyway.I printed it and will read it later.

[Luis A M]

Nice manual,with lots of good tips and protocols! And free to download!
Now this "meso"size looks too much for the regular hobbyist,particularly landlocked or budget challenged ones Now,if we could be sure that we could raise some baby angels with that...
Or we could down scale this model to something workable

Tigriopus Californicus Harpacticoid species copepod

http://www.copepodgeek.com/index.php/ha ... ework.html

Copepod is a greek word translating to “Oar Foot”, these creatures technically do not have “feet” at all, instead they use little tail like appendages as oars for locomotion. It’s also interesting to note that they primarily use their mouth appendages for slower more melancholy movement. The combination of these two locomotive techniques allows the Tigriopus the ability to range in speed from amazingly slow to amazingly fast. It’s reported that they can move at speeds up to 1/2 mile an hour, which is an amazing feat considering the relative size of these creatures. To get relativity on the subject of movement and size, consider that a larger Tigriopus is typically around 900-1400 micro meters in length, this is about .9 to 1.4 millimeters. These guys are tiny!

I don't think this one has been listed yet. Describes the value of dinoflagelletes (I know it's a little old, but still interesting).
