“…Alver et al [68] used a system for automatic control of the growth and density of rotifer. The system computes feeding rates based on a setpoint for rotifer density and provides a fast growth period followed by rapid stabilization of the rotifer density.…”

Plankton is composed by unicellular, filamentous or colonial organisms that may have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell structures. These organisms have an extreme ecological importance in the different water bodies worldwide, as they fix carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and are an important key element in the basis of various food chains. Through an industrial perspective, phytoplankton species have been used as a feedstock for a wide range of applications, such as wastewater treatment, or production of high value compounds; and commercial products, such as food and feed supplements, pharmacological compounds, lipids, enzymes, biomass, polymers, toxins, pigments. Zooplankton is commonly used as live food for larval stages to the period of termination of fish, shrimp, mollusks and corals. These types of organisms have characteristics such as a valuable nutritional composition, digestibility, buoyancy, ease of ingestion and attractive movement for post-larvae, thus presenting economic importance. This book chapter aims to demonstrate the several advantages that plankton have, their ecological and economic importance, targeting the production of add-value products.

“…One of the main concerns is the nutritional quality as a prey when the rotifers are produced in mass culture. Rotifers are produced under different methods such us batch, semicontinuous and continuous cultures, as well as under high-density superintensive, water recirculation and automatic-controlled systems (Lubzens et al, 1989;Yoshimura et al, 1997;Dhert et al, 2001;Yúfera et al, 2001;Bentley et al, 2008;Alver et al, 2010;Kostopoulou et al, 2012). The culture system may affect the body biochemical composition.…”
