experiment was to determine the conditions under which maximum
production could be achieved. This increase was reached when
the rotifer density was 10 specimens/ml under conditions of
very high food concentration (algae Scenedesmus obliguus
3 million cells/ml), when the ration reached the limit, the
food assimilation l/u was 0.45, while the coefficient of
utilization of food for growth was 36%.
