For example, a calanoid copepod (Acartia sp.) has been
successfully fed to red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus)
for which rotifers are too large (Schipp et al., 1999).
Conversely, Kahan et al. (1982) suggest that Artemia may
be too large for larvae with especially small gapes. In
addition to their nutritional and physical superiority as live
feed, copepods are also highly suitable for culture because
of their eurythermal and euryhaline characteristics, which
allow them to tolerate wide environmental fluctuations
