“…Daphnia species are suitable for larvae and juvenile feeding in freshwater fish culture due to the appropriate size after artemia utilization and easy to culture comparing to other zooplankton (Hoff and Snell, 2004; Munirasu, 2013). These cladocerans are used not only for live prey but also used as wastewater treatment (da Silva Campos et al, 2020), protein and lipid sources for dietary supplementation in carp (Abdel‐Tawwab et al, 2020; Bogut et al, 2010; Suantika et al, 2016), barramundi (Chiu et al, 2015), grey mullet (Abo‐Taleb, Ashour, et al, 2021; Abo‐Taleb, El‐feky, et al, 2021) and crustacean such as kuruma shrimp (Mona et al, 2017) diets for different purposes in aquaculture.…”
