這裡也有一篇報告,關於使用nauplii可以將火焰幼苗存活率由幾乎0大大提升到30%,有興趣的可以看看,裡面也有關於P. crassirostris、Acartia sp.等簡單的培養說明。

不知道在你們那邊有沒有做火焰這類的小型神仙?

對了裡面有幾段我覺得蠻有參考價值的:
In Darwin, we commenced investigating the application of copepods to larval fish rearing in 1993 when we were faced with difficulties in culturing the tropical Lutjanid, golden snapper, Lutjanus johnii (Bloch). Early attempts at larval rearing using either the normal strain rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis, or a small strain, local rotifer, Syncaeta sp, as first feed were characterised by total mortality of the larvae within five days from the commencement of feeding. At the time we observed that rotifers were rarely ingested, and if they were, then were often being excreted intact by the larvae, indicating that ingested rotifers were not being digested. Starved larvae exhibited similar survival times to those fed rotifers
Subsequent research at the Darwin Aquaculture Centre resulted in the development of a method for the semi-intensive culture of L. johnii juveniles. The method relied on the use of nauplii of a locally available copepod of the Acartia genus as a first feed for the larvae. Once the fish larvae had copepods included in their diet, their survival quickly moved from zero to over 30% after metamorphosis.
Since 2002 further refinement to the method has including extending the culture technique to another species of calanoid, Parvocalanus crassirostris, and successfully using these copepods in Hawaii to produce a range of fish species including, the flame angelfish, Centropyge loricula (Gunther); crimson jobfish, Pristipomoides filamentosus (Valenciennes); almaco jack, Seriola rivoliana (Valenciennes) and the peacock hind, Cephalopholis argus (Bloch and Schneider).

From our experience both P. crassirostris and Acartia sp. have proved to be suitable as first feeds for a wide variety of fish species. The fish that we have cultured can be divided into two broad groups. Those whose early survival is strongly linked to feeding on copepod nauplii and who do not survive well, if at all, if copepods are not used. This group includes, Lutjanus johnii, Centropyge loricula (Fig. 4), Pristipomoides filamentosus and Cephalopholis argus. The other group is those fish that do not need copepods as first feed and who will do quite well on rotifers or Artemia but when copepods are used as a supplement, their growth is significantly enhanced. This group includes, barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch); almaco jack, Seriola rivoliana; giant trevally, Caranx ignobilis (Forsskal); and the common dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus (Linnaeus)
Most fish larvae appear to be very capable of successfully finding and consuming copepod nauplii even if the nauplii are present in only low numbers. It is well recognised that larvae will preferentially feed on copepods, even amongst a bloom of rotifers (Kuhlmann, Quantz & Witt 1981; Van der Meeren 1991; Ali, Mohn Salleh & Siti Noraziah 1998). In many of our fish cultures when nauplii numbers were as low as 0.5 per mL and rotifers more than 10 per mL, nauplii were the dominant prey item in the stomach contents of first feeding larvae
