A fellow MAAST member told me that suppliers normally sell their copepods by the total number of organisms rather then counting only the ones you can see with the naked eye. It never occurred to me to count the developing microscopic copepods like they do.

Therefore, I did a density count on a bottle of copepods for sale and found there to be 6,000 to 7,200 copepods contained within. Additionally, I've corrected my price from 100(visible) pods for $35 to 10,000(total) pods for $35.

As always, I will be more then happy to show you, under a microscope, what it is you are buying and explain to you how a cell density count is derived. I hope to see you soon.

Thank you.
