Current schedule:No set time for final consumption of the yolk as things like temperature and water movement can affect how fast the yolk gets used up. Warmer water, and, heavier water movement promote faster use of the energy resources.
If you really NEED to use newborn nauplii, you are best to do frequent separations of fresh hatched nauplii from the culture as soon as they hatch.
Once they start hatching, let the culture sit motionless for 5 minutes with a point source light shining on a convenient location of the culture vessel and as the nauplii gather, siphon them off. Replace aeration and let more hatch and repeat. Keep repeating until all are hatched.
IMO, it's MUCH easier to plan on getting a full hatch first, ongrowing them for a day until they reach the Instar II stage where digestion system is complete, and then enrich with the enrichment of choice for two 12 hour stages using new water and enrichment for both stages.
