Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zooplankton are essential for the success of aquatic organism larviculture. In recent decades, the improvement in production technologies for zooplankton species widely used in larviculture, the search for new species with potential for mass production, and protocols and new substances for zooplankton enrichment and their effects on aquatic organism larviculture have been studied to improve the larviculture of different species of aquatic organisms.
This Special Issue is dedicated to publishing original research articles and reviews related to zooplankton production and its application in the larviculture of aquatic organisms. The scope of this Special Issue includes improvements in the methodologies and protocols of production of widely produced species (such as rotifer, artemia, and copepods), new species of zooplankton with potential for aquaculture, and advances in enrichment protocols and applications of zooplankton during the larviculture of aquatic organisms.
