Copepods are considered as ideal larval feed, due to their smaller size (<100µm), high protein and favourable fatty acid profiles. There are three types of copepods viz., harpacticoid, calanoid and cyclopoid, which can be cultured on a large scale under controlled conditions as live feed for the initial stages of fish and shellfish larvae. Karwar Research Centre of ICAR- CMFRI made a significant contribution in standardizing the protocols for the culture of a new cyclopoid copepod, Apocyclops cmfri sp. nov. a species native to Karwar (Loka et al., 2017, Indian J. Fish., 64(2): 1-9).
