Short communication: Culture of Chlorella ellipsoidea in different inexpensive medium and used as food for production of rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus

Rotifers are multicellular animals with body cavities that are partially lined by mesoderm. These organisms are valuable live food for larval fish and crustacean culture. Several characteristics of rotifers, including their nutritional quality, body size and relatively slow motility have contributed to their usefulness as good prey for active larvae. In general, rotifers have both nutrient content and a high rate of daily production. ... In the present study, we cultured Chlorella ellipsoidea in different media and used as food in powdered and fresh live form along with Backer’s yeast to mass production of rotifers.
