Mass Culture of Zooplankton

Brachionus plicatilis
Most widely cultured in the hatchery to supplement the feed of fin fish and shell fish larvae. It is an euryhaline organisms grow well in 15-20 ppt salinity and at a temperature of 26-32o C

Systematics of microinvertebrates and secondary production
Quantification of secondary production indicates potential for annual harvestable fish stock of 3.5 million tonnes from the Indian EEZ
