Changes in rotifer communities regarding to the water-level fluctuations in the floodplain Gemenc, Danube (Hungary) [PDF]

open access: yesOpuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2006
The planktonic rotifer communities in three hydrodynamicaly different river-arms at the floodplain of the Danube River at Gemenc have been studied. In the numerous arms the current has different speeds depending on the water level, therefore the physical

L-carnitine can improve the population growth and anti-stress ability of rotifer (Brachionus rotundiformis) under ammonia stress

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2021
Rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis is the first live food for larval fish that can generally be plagued by ammonia (AC) in intensive culture systems. Ammonia accumulates enough to cause rotifer death.

Locomotory behaviour of euryhaline rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis: The potential influence of probiotics on swimming pattern and speed

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2023
We evaluated the effect of probiotics on the growth and culture condition of rotifer in medium‐sized culture tanks. The influence of probiotics on the changes in swimming patterns, velocity and sinuosity indices of rotifer was also examined. The rotifers

A Preliminary Study on the Effects of Taurine-Enriched Rotifers on the Growth and Survival of the Small Yellow Croaker Larimichthys polyactis Larvae

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
The effect of feeding with taurine-enriched rotifers on larval growth and survival in the small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis was investigated. Rotifers, control (without taurine enrichment) or enriched with a commercial taurine supplement at two
