“…These usually give data on the growth rates, which are of an order of magnitude higher than those from the field conditions. For example, the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis can be grown to densities as high as 25,000 ind mL -1 (Yoshimatsu and Hossain, 2014) which certainly does not occur in nature and the highest natural densities of B. plicatilis is about 50 ind mL -1 (Sarma, 1991;Filho et al, 2014). Therefore, population density of rotifers based on field collections reflect their natural growth potential while the maximal rates of population increase are reflected under test culture conditions.…”

To understand the population growth potential of different species of rotifers in nature, field collections through seasons are essential. We sampled zooplankton (and measured selected physicochemical variables) from the Madín reservoir, a high altitude eutrophic urban waterbody from Mexico, every month for a year. Qualitative analysis of zooplankton revealed 28 rotifer species and four cladoceran crustaceans plus one unidentified copepod. Cephalodella catellina (1400 ind L -1 ), Horaella thomassoni (550 ind L -1 ), Conochilus dossuarius (380 ind L -1 ) and Filinia longiseta (25 ind L -1 ) had higher peak density than other rotifers. Based on the concentrations of nitrates and phosphates, chlorophyll a levels or different diversity indices (e.g., Carlson, Shannon-Wiener, Pantle and Buck, Ejsmont-Karabin's TSI Rot ), the waterbody is eutrophic to hypertrophic, depending on the season. In this waterbody we observed high densities of Aphanothece sp. which is a toxic picocyanobacterium. During the blooms of Aphanothece, we also recorded higher densities of H. thomassoni and C. catellina. Based on the gut contents we found that both these rotifer species feed on Aphanothece in this waterbody. This study thus suggests the potential growth of Horaella, Cephalodella, Conochilus and Filinia in this eutrophic reservoir containing blooms of Aphanothece.

“…macrorhiza Leconte)). Using the same type of measurement, Koste () noted that sessile rotifers occur in densities of up to 1,000 individuals per ml, a value not uncommon for planktonic species (Yoshimatsu & Hossain, ). Here we used a different, and more easily assessed, metric to express rotifer density: number of individuals per volume of water displaced by plant material to which the rotifers are attached (Harrington et al, ).…”

To better understand the sessile rotifer community of a shallow, eutrophic lake, we monitored over a 1‐year period the monthly changes in the density and diversity of rotifers on the roots of the common water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, which served as a representative hydrophyte. Selected physical and chemical parameters of the water were also determined. Mean annual density of all sessile species was 630 individuals per ml. Species of Collothecacea (n = 7) were most abundant. Of the 12 species of Flosculariaceae (Flosculariidae), Sinantherina socialis occurred seasonally, while Ptygura beauchampi was most common across all seasons. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index was highest (H′ = 2.8) in April, but decreased in January (H′ = 1.3). Applying the concept of the guild ratio (functional‐based analysis) we found that raptorial species (Collothecacea) were dominant over most of the year (June–February), while microphagous Flosculariidae were dominant during the warm, drier season (March–May). BEST (optimal matching of biota to environment, including stepwise search) analysis and canonical correspondence revealed that temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and transparency strongly influenced sessile rotifer dynamics. We also found significant correlations between the density of some species and physicochemical variables. These species included Collotheca ambigua, C. coronetta, C. ornata, C. campanulata, C. tenuilobata, and Stephanoceros millsii in the Collothecacea; and Beauchampia crucigere, Limnias melicerta, L. ceratophylli, Ptygura crystallina, P. melicerta, and Sinantherina ariprepes in the Flosculariidae. Our study shows that the communities of sessile rotifers were structured by abiotic factors and that the guild ratio is useful for understanding the relationship between sessile rotifers and their substrata.

In recent decades, an increasing interest in aquaculture for producing good quality and quantity of live food has led to the use of probiotics. Rotifers and cladocerans are important as live prey for fish and invertebrate larval rearing. We carried out an experimental study to evaluate the effect of a commercial probiotic (NanoCrusta®) on improving population growth of Brachionus angularis, Plationus patulus, Moina cf. macrocopa and Simocephalus mixtus. The probiotic was tested by direct supplementation (2.1 × 10 6 , 4.2 × 10 6 , 8.5 × 10 6 and 1.7 × 10 7 cells/ml) in addition to C. vulgaris as a source of food (1 × 10 6 cells/ml). The results indicated that probiotics enhanced maximum population density (D max) and the population growth rate (r) in both zooplankton groups. At 4.2 × 10 6 cells/ml, B. angularis improved their D max (62.74%) and r (28%) compared with probiotic-free control, while P. patulus enhanced their D max and r by 51.26% and 20.83% (probiotic at 8.5 × 10 6 cells/ml). The two lowest probiotic densities resulted in an improvement in the parameters compared with the probioticfree control treatments: M. cf. macrocopa enhanced D max by 14.82% and r by 18%, and S. mixtus incremented D max 10.92% and r by 10%. The addition of probiotic bacteria also resulted in an improvement in the rotifer egg ratio (ER).

Microbial community management has a positive influence on developing better zooplankton culture conditions (Tang, Turk, &
