Live Feed Culture
 
Description Among all, the first live feed that has been
demonstrated successfully as first feed for most of the
marine finfish species is the rotifer. It is considered as
an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae due to
its small size, slow swimming speed, high calorifc value,
parthenogenetic reproduction and ability to be easily
enriched with antibiotics and fatty acids. Rotifers are
a group of aquatic microscopic invertebrates and are
commonly called 'wheel animalcules' as their disc like .
corona bears resemblance to a pair of revolving wheels
due to the synchronized beating of their coronal cilia.
The rotifers are well represented in freshwater plankton,
but only a few species of them are found in brackish
waters and fewer still in the sea.
