Biotechnology can be defined as any technology that involves living organisms or their
derivatives. In applying this definition to rotifers, we focus on their contribution in culturing of …

For almost four decades, rotifers have been used as food organisms for cultured marine fish
larvae. A continuous, stable and reliable supply of nutritionally adequate rotifers is the key to …

The microalga biomass production from confectionary effluent is a possible solution for the
urgent need for a live food in aquaculture. Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis was the dominant …

The quality and quantity of rotifer production in a hatchery primarily determine the yield of
larval production; therefore, considerable studies geared toward mass culture and …

The rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis Muller) was cultured by feeding on phytoplankton
monocultures (Nannochloropsis sp. and Isochrysis galbana), mixed algal cultures …

Batch cultures and continuous flow cultures were used to study the growth rates of
zooplankton species from Shira lake, the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis Muller and calanoid …

Live food resources eg rotifers, copepods, cladocerans and Artemia are critical for
successful fish larviculture. However, the hatchery production of these live foods depends on …

Two experiments were conducted examining the population structure of Brachionus
'Nevada'under feeding conditions commonly applied in hatcheries, using 4-day rotifer batch …

This study describes the rotifer mass culture protocol developed at the Institute of
Aquaculture (HCMR) in Crete. Rotifers were cultured semi‐continuously at a density of …

This study investigated the population growth of the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis (S-type)
in batch cultures using dried Nannochloropsis oculata and Chlorella vulgaris with gamma …
