Abstract
IT is no novelty to biologists that the Copepoda of the sea are edible; but it may interest some of your readers to hear that today, when passing through the Labrador current, in about long. 50° W., we caught, cooked, and ate a number of the large Copepoda which swarm there. It certainly seemed a new idea to the captain and some of the British Association passengers, who partook of the Copepoda stew, that it was possible to collect from an Atlantic liner going at full speed a sufficient quantity of these pelagic animals to make a respectable dish.
