About 20 species of zooplankters (copepods, mysids, euphausiids, sergestids, and Scyphomedusae) are commercially fished and utilised as food or feed today. The annual world catch of crustacean zooplankton is probably a little less than 210,000 tons and accounts for 11% of the total crustacean catch in the world. The present status of plankton harvesting in various parts of the world is described. Problems in development of plankton fisheries are discussed.

Molecular genetic variation and fisheries of Mesopodopsis orientalis (Crustacea: Mysida) in Indonesian waters, with remarks on fisheries of Acetes (Crustacea: Decapoda)

This chapter discusses the structure of the population of MESOPODOPSIS ORIENTALIS in Indonesia and its role in genetic diversity and phytochemical fingerprinting.

The fishery of pelagic shrimp aviú Acetes paraguayensis in eastern Brazilian Amazon

This study investigated the artisanal exploitation of A. paraguayensis stocks in the northern Brazilian municipality of Santarém over 16 months, focusing on the types of equipment most used to harvest this shrimp, the fishing dynamics, and production patterns.

Fisheries on Mesopodopsis (Mysida: Mysidae) and Acetes (Decapoda: Sergestidae) in Indonesia

Edible crustaceans belonging to mysids and Acetes have been studied in Indonesia based on field sam plings at fishing grounds and buying materials. Interview surveys were also conducted at public…

Iridoviruses of copepods: their identification, estuarine ecology and host histopathology

Zooplankton Invertebrate Iridescent viruses were discovered infecting copepods and the virus ultrastructure and host infection sites were described.

Feeding ecology of two sympatric species of Acetes (Decapoda: Sergestidae) in Panguil Bay, the Philippines

Gut fullness peaked during July to September for both species, with a minor peak during January for A. intermedius, and stable isotope analysis revealed similar δ15N values, but both species showed ontogenetic and interspecific separation of δ13C.

CURRENT STATUS OF MYSID TAXONOMYIN SOUTHEAST ASIA

There is an urgent need for research to improve the understanding of the biodiversity of mysids in Southeast Asia, where about 20 % of the recent species of these orders so far reported in the world are recorded.

Food and feeding habit of taiwan mauxia shrimp Acetes intermedius in the coastal waters of Southwestern Taiwan

The results obtained in this study supported the hypothesis that A. intermedius performs a nocturnal vertical migration to avoid predators and to allow for safe feeding.

Preliminary studies onIndomysis annandalei (Mysidacea, crustacea) from Karachi waters with a brief account of its larval development

Population, seasonal abundance of the mysidIndomysis annandalei Tattersal from Karachi waters (northern Arabian Sea) are studied and developmental stages are described.

Effects of Temperature and Salinity on Egg Hatching of a Planktonic Shrimp Acetes intermedius Omori, 1975

In this experiment the soil in which clams were reared was turned over periodically to see whether the treatment benefited the growth of the clams, and it was inferred from observations that a few of theClams might have injured their own foot by suddenly closing their shells when frightened by the turning over of the pond soil.

Prospects of the Utilization of Krill and Other Nonconventional Resources of the World Ocean

The most urgent task is to develop commercial fisheries among animals at the second trophic level, the zooplankton, the most promising of these are the crustaceans, especially the krill of the antarctic, Euphausia superba, which occupy areas of the ocean south of theAntarctic convergence, in extremely high concentrations.
