Sommario/riassunto

The importance of copepods in aquaculture has long been recognized, especially in the larval rearing of many marine fishes.  This timely publication provides a single source of information on copepod biology, culture methods and practical use in marine finfish hatcheries.  Originating out of a workshop held on copepods by the Oceanic Institute in Hawaii, this proceedings includes review articles and papers presented by leading international experts in copepod biology and aquaculture. It is a seminal work that integrates the most up-to-date information on selecting copepod species,
