Abstract Use of marine yeast and bakers' yeast in combination with Chlorella sp. for the large-scale production of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis was investigated. The culture density of marine yeast fed rotifers was significantly higher than rotifers fed bakers' yeast. Rotifer production was significantly higher and the doubling time was lower for marine yeast fed rotifers than for bakers' yeast fed rotifers. It appears that the addition of marine yeast to the feed enhances the birth rate and overall production of rotifers in the culture system. The nutritional quality of rotifers is discussed.
