Notes

The aim of this paper was to study some biological parameters of Philodina roseola (Rotifera, Bdelloidea). 43 specimens from one clone were isolated in glass cells and cultured under standard conditions (24 degrees C, commercial fish food suspension in de-ionized water as culture medium). Survival rate, age specific fecundity, net reproduction rate and mean generation time were calculated. Some aspects of Rotifer biology are discussed.
