alextret Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Could be of interest for those living in Palmerston North (well, for those who do not know it already): it appears that daphnia is available in large quatities in the Lagoon (the body of water along the Centennial Drive). This Sunday, I could catch more than I needed within five minutes using just the small fish net I usually use to move fish from one tank to another. There is some fish in the Lagoon too, so one could catch some parasites along with daphnia, but I believe that the risk should be rather low.

alextret Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Indeed it looks like the density of daphnia is oscillating. But, over these several months, even at low points there were enough of them. I was not able to maintain a culture at home (once out of the lagoon, they die out in about a day).
