Anyone Chasing Daphnia?

Also suggest using caution if accessing daphnia here. Local councils in Perth region are coming down heavily on illegal "fishing" in lakes around Perth, and collecting daphnia comes under this heading. Mongers lake is also currently alive with daphnia, but Vincent council has turned nasty on collections. We have too many bloody-minded bureaucrats these days.
There was once a licensing system for permitting daphnia collection, but this was discontinued in the 1970s, and open collection was permitted, but now the mindset appears to be that unless expressly permitted (and this does not happen), then it is illegal. No matter that collection helps reduce the eutrification of lakes. The minds of bureaucrats are made up, and they will not be confused by facts.

Unfortunately all governments, whether it be local state or federal have a very short memory. And a lot of us weren't around in the 1970's Syd. I'm afraid that common sense isn't common. I wouldn't let an overzealous ranger (aka rent a cop) stop me from collecting daphnia. I'm pretty good with dealing with local councils though, as its part of my job.

Come now Jason, They are not deserving of such high praise!

Don't know yet only had the colony for 2 months. I'll get 2x 200L drums in shade and see how I go.
I'm finding eggs when I do water changes. I'm drying them out and will try to hatch them.
If that works then start another colony after summer.
