Copepods are preferred live food for marine fish larvae in aquaculture (Støttrup, 2003). Fish larvae fed copepods survive better (Wilcox et al., 2006), are better pigmented (Næss et al., 1995) and have better growth (Støttrup & Norsker, 1997) than those fed Artemia and/or rotifers. However, despite the advantages of copepods as a live food, their use remains limited because of low productivity and intensive culture costs. Species of Acartia are good candidates for live feed because their body size, swimming behaviour and biochemical composition are all suitable for many marine fish larvae which have small gapes (Rajkumar, & Vasagam, 2006; Wilcox et al., 2006). Species of Acartia also produce dormant eggs which can be stored and hatched to start new cultures, or used directly to feed larval fish (Hansen et al., 2016; Takayama et al., 2019). One such species, A. steueri Smirnov, is widely distributed in coastal waters and represents an essential, natural food source for the larvae of commercially important fish (Tanaka et al., 1987).In culture, the likelihood of encountering copepod eggs or offspring is enhanced as adult copepod density increases. The downside to this increased density is that cannibalism might also increase, reducing culture productivity (Drillet et al., 2014). Accordingly, techniques to separate copepod eggs and offspring from adults are required. Manual egg collection using a siphon is common in Acartia culture (Drillet et al., 2011; Marcus & Wilcox, 2007; Santhosh et al., 2018; Støttrup et al., 1986), but automation is necessary to reduce
