Copepoila. 



The free-swimming Copepoda form a large proportion of the plankton 

 of these southern seas. They are enormously abundant at all seasons of 

 the year, and are of the greatest importance as a source of food for several 

 species of fish {e.g., the Glupeidae) and for numbers of larvae of fish. In 

 rearing young lobsters in the hatchery, iji their very early swimming stages 

 Anderton used formerly to use chopped-up livers of crabs {Heterograpsus, &c.) 

 or finely chopped cockle. He now feeds them on Copepoda, using fine 

 surface-nets, and removing large zoaeae. Actiniae, &c. The larval lobsters 

 chase the minute Copepoda about, and feed freely on them.
