This association is too amazing. The copepod holds some of this microalgae to serve as a support for its "babies", called as nauplii, to live in the plankton. I videotaped this moment while I was sorting some females to experiment them.
incredible!! i'm about to prepare for a 4-day conference to talk about zooplankton and i came across your vid.. nice to see them alive and outside of the formalin haha

Hi! I'm studying copepods too and your description is interesting! Do you know more about that association?
