Stoichiometric regulation in micro- and mesozooplankton [PDF]
Aquatic ecosystems experience large natural variation in elemental composition of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), which is further enhanced by human activities. Primary producers typically reflect the nutrient ratios of their resource, whose

Short-term preservation of Brachionus calyciflorus: effects of storage on protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents [PDF]
The short-term preservation of Brachionus calyciflorus for 45 days at three different temperatures (4, -4 and -20°C) led to decrease in protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents in all the three cases.

Population growth study of the rotifer Brachionus sp. fed with triazine-exposed microalgae [PDF]
[Abstract]Few data exist on potential toxic effects that pollutants may have on zooplankton fed microalgae exposed to pesticides. For that reason, microalgal cultures were exposed to different concentrations of the triazine herbicide terbutryn, and used ...

ABSTRACT Developing optimized feeding strategies for copepods is essential in contemporary aquaculture, as they serve as a highly nutritious live feed for numerous aquatic organisms. Three experiments were conducted to enhance the development and reproductive success of the copepod, Cyclops sp., to support sustainable aquaculture practices.

Distribution of Brachionus species (Phylum Rotifera) in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India [PDF]
Distribution of thirteen species of Brachionus in nine stations from Cochin backwaters was studied during August 2000-July 2002. Of the 13 species, B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis were observed in all the stations. B. rotundiformis was dominant with

Full life-cycle toxicity assessment on triclosan using rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus
Triclosan (TCS) is an antimicrobial and is an aquatic contaminant. Little is known on aquatic toxicity of TCS. Rotifers are common members of freshwater zooplankton. In this study, Brachionus calyciflorus was chosen as a test organism to assess the acute and complete life cycle toxicity of TCS in this study.

Eco‐phenotypic feedback loops differ in multistressor environments
Abstract Natural communities are exposed to multiple environmental stressors, which simultaneously impact the population and trait dynamics of the species embedded within these communities. Given that certain traits, such as body size, are known to rapidly respond to environmental change, and given that they can strongly influence the density of ...

In order to maintain rotifer populations during periods of low algal production, it is necessary to offer alternate diets, some of which include forms of preserved algae.

Planktonic rotifers of a saline-lowland river : The Salado River (Argentina) [PDF]
Seasonal samples of zooplankton were taken during 1997-1999 at fifteen stations in the Salado River basin, and analysed in order to study the rotifer fauna. Spatio-temporal changes in the rotifer plankton composition were examined in the main channel and

Zooplankton in Aquaculture: A Perspective on Nutrition and Cost‐Effectiveness
Successful aquaculture relies on effective feeding strategies for target species, from the larval stage through to sexually mature adults, in both marine and freshwater environments. Aquatic organisms, particularly larvae, instinctively prefer live feeds like algae and zooplankton; larvae are entirely dependent on live feeds due to their undeveloped ...
