종묘 생산을 위한 사료 재발에 대한 연구는 계속되고 있으나 대부분 Chlorella$\longrightarrow$Rotife$\longrightarrow$Artemia$\longrightarrow$인공사료의 순으로 많이 이용되고 있다. 이 중 Artemia는 다양한 크기로 먹이에 이용되고 있으나, 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문에 외화 낭비는 물론 최근에는 환경 보호 차원에서 Artemia 생산이 억제되어 수입 양 제한 등으로 수입가격이 수배로 폭등한 실정이다. (중략)

Artemia often observed as a co-existing organism in the mass culture tank of marine rotifer. The rotifer and Atremia are commonly used as food organisms in the marine fish larvae rearing. In this study, interspecific relation between the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis (formely called S-type) and anostracan Artemia of the two developmental stages (0 and 19 day old after hatching) were investigated in the larboratory. The population growth of B. rotundiformis and one of the stage (nauplius or adult) of Artemia in mixed culture was compared with that of each single species culture. Culture period was 16 days. Every two days, the number of organisms in each species was counted and transferred to a fresh medium containing $7{\times}10^5$cells/ml of food Nannochloropsis oculata. Culture volume, temperature, salinity and photoperiod were set at 40ml, $25^{\circ}C.$, 22ppt and 24h all dark except to observation time, respectively. The rotifer population growth was greatly decreased by co-existence with Artemia. The coexisting Artemia suppressed the rotifer population growth due to it's high filtering speed for food (N. oculata). This study suggested that contamination by Artemia must be prevented for the stable rotifer production in the rotifer mass culture tank.

The growth and size variation of rotifer (Brachionus plicatils) were examined at the various water temepratures ranging form 18 to $36^{\circ}C$, and under continuous light condition. Either Chlorella ellipsoidea or $\omega$-yeast were fed to rotifer as a food organism. Compared to large-type rotifer fed of $\omega$-yeast, those fed on C. ellipsoildea generally showed higher growth at 7th after starting culture under the water temperaure of less than $30^{\circ}C$. Above such temperature, the large-type rotifer fed on $\omega$-yeast showed higher growth rather than those fed on C. ellipsoidea and the maximum cell number reached 1,420 ind./m$\ell$ at $36^{\circ}C$, whereas when the small-type rotifer was fed on $\omega$-teast, its maximum cell number was to be 1,669 ind./m$\ell$at $34^{\circ}C$. The striking decrease in size was found in large-type rotifer which was to be $112.1\mu m$m(initial : 202.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) when they were fed on C. ellipsoidea at $34^{\circ}C$ for 5 days after starting culture. A great increase in size from the initial of 157.0 to $201.3\mu m$mwas show in small-type rotifer fed on $\omega$-yeast at $20^{\circ}C$,for 5 days. The present results demonstrated that size variation of rotifer could be controlled by changing culture temperature.
