Culture of a Planktonic Calanoid Copepod through Multiple Generations.
Acartia tonsa has been propagated through 12 filial generations during 1 year in small laboratory cultures. The mean generation time was 25 days at 17 degrees C on a slightly suboptimum, mixed algal diet. Body size, reproductive capacity, and generation time were unchanged during the culture period.
