Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dosis ragi roti yang berbeda terhadap kepadatan rotifera (Brachionus plicatilis). dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2021 di Laboratorium Perikanan Terpadu, Universitas Sulawesi Barat. Rotifera dikultur dengan pemberian pakan alami Nannochloropsis sp. sebanyak 41 ml penambahan berbagai roti. menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) 4 perlakuan dan 3 ...

Several aspects of the response to toxicants using a standardized toxicity test with the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus are described. Test animals are obtained by hatching cysts which produce animals of similar age and physiological condition. The acute toxicity of 28 compounds is described with 24-hr LC50's. The LC50's span five orders of magnitude, from silver at 0.008 mg.liter-1...

A study was carried out in restored South West Lake and non-restored East Lake, of Beira lake with the objective of determining the species composition, density and distribution of zooplankton. Water was sampled from the surface and at a depth of 1 m, from February to March, 2005 between 0900-1130 h. Three rotifers species; Brachinonus calyciflorus, Keratella tropica, Filinia sp., three cladoce...

Transitions to asexuality have occurred in many animals and plants, yet the biological mechanisms causing such transitions have often remained unclear. Cyclical parthenogens, such as cladocerans, rotifers or aphids often give rise to obligate asexual lineages. In many rotifers, chemical signals that accumulate during population crowding trigger the induction of sexual stages. In this study, I t...
