Notes
In order to develop the optimum conditions for a mass culture of Brachionus rubens, eight strains of phytoplankton were tested as food for the rotifers. The optimum food concentration as well as the concentration of algal medium, tolerated by B. rubens, and the influence of nitrite, sodium chloride, extreme pH-values and low oxygen concentrations on the reproduction of B. rubens were determined.
