Notes:
The rotifer Brachionus glicatilis, strain-S (from Japan) and strain-S1 (Pozuelo 1975) were mass cultured using Chlorella and bakers' yeast. Under the same feed regime, a significant increase (P 〈 0.001) in rotifer strain-S production (44.19 ± 8.50 individuals/mL/d) was observed compared with strain-S1 (29.64 ± 9.38 individuals/mL/d). The population growth rate was significantly higher (P〉 0.001), and doubling time was significantly lower (P〉 0.0001) in rotifer strain-S than in strain-S1. There was a significant decline (P〉 0.001) in birth rate of strain-S rotifers in the culture system compared with strain-S1, suggesting short longevity and deterioration of the culture system while using strain-S. In general, no significant difference (P〈 0.05) in the presence of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFA) in different strains of rotifers was observed.
