 note = {The mass culture of the harpacticoid copepod, Tisbintra elongata, indigenous to Panay Island
were conducted, feeding them on several kinds of food materials. Salinity tolerance as physiological parameter was also examined. At the same time their efficiency as food for milkfish
larvae was evaluated.
The highest density of 10.5 individuals/ml was obtained in copepods fed on rice bran and
fermented fish solubles at rates of 0.125 to 0.25 and 0.16 mg/indiv./day respectively. The
provision of shelter as habitat was also supplementary for growth. This species of copepod
was found to be euryhaline, and could grow to high densities in waters hypersaline to their
natural habitat.
Statistically, no significant difference of growth was observed between the milkfish larvae
fed on this species and Artemia nauplius. However, comparatively stable results were obtained
using Tisbintra as food. In this rearing of milkfish larvae, those larvae whose size was 12.3 to
13.5 mm in body length were considered to be just prior to morphological change.},
