Abstract
We investigated the food-effect for ultra-small rotifer Synchaeta kitina cultured under a individual and community by several diets: 3 single trials(Tetraselmis suecica, TET; Isochrysis galbana, ISO; Marine Chlorella ellipsoidea, CHL) and 3 trials with a mixture of 2 species. The rotifer was cultured on the different feeding concentrations. In the individual cultures, the maximum number of offsprings and maximum lifespan of the female investigated to 5.8 inds. and 12.7 days in TET trial, respectively. Values of the developmental phases of the rotifer fed with T. suecica were higher than those of trials without T. suecica. Also it approached faster to maturation level. In the community cultures, the maximum density of TET+CHL trial elevated up to 1,569 inds./mL. But, CHL and ISO showed a poor growth rate and maximum density. The offsprings of the female increased continuously when fed by T. suecica trial, up to $10{\times}10^3$ cells/ind./day. As the quantity of supplied diet was lowered their lifespan were decreased. But, the maximum density and growth rate in the community cultures showed the highest value in the $10{\times}10^3$ cells/ind./day. The efficient food for mass culture of S. kitina was T. suecica, and optimum concentration of their food was 10,000 cells for an individual.
