Rearing Copepods for Mosquito Control
2004
Jorge Rey | Sheila O'Connell
Copepods are tiny aquatic crustaceans (shrimp, crabs lobster, and relatives) that are widespread in both fresh and salt water habitats. They are voracious predators of mosquito larvae and as such, can be used to control mosquito production from water holding areas. Copepod cultures are relatively easy to maintain, but getting the cultures started requires some effort and time. Also, some equipment that may not be readily available to the average home owner (such as a dissecting microscope) can make life a lot easier.
