Özet

In this study, in which the effects of various food sources on the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis were examined, rotifers were fed with Nannochloropsis sp., yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and dried Spirulina meal. In the first trial, optimum Spirulina concentration was found to be 0.01 g / 10(6) rotifers per day. In the experimental groups, 5 groups were arranged, e.g., alga, alga+yeast, alga+Spirulina, yeast+Spirulina and yeast/2+Spirulina. In the microscopic observations, it was seen that Spirulina particles were larger than that rotifer can consume. Consequently, the groups that contained alga showed the best growth pattern. Spirulina could not be consumed due to the larger particle size. Regarding the yeast cells, although their size are in the optimum range for rotifer feeding, they exhibited a lower growth rate compared to the groups fed with alga due to the fact that the yeast caused the culture medium to deteriorate.
