Gulf Research Reports, Vol. 6, No. 1, 59-68 A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE MASS PROPAGATION OF ROTIFERS WITH EMPHASIS ON THE BIOLOGY AND CULTURE OF BRACHIONUS PLICA TILIS MOBASHIR A. SOLANGI AND JOHN T. OGLE Parasitology and Oyster Biology Sections, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564 ABSTRACT The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis has shown great promise as food for artificially reared fish and crustacean larvae. A list of references on mass propagation of rotifers is presented alphabetically by author. Citations cover and are indexed as culture, diet, ecology, physiology, population dynamics, reproduction, systematics, geographical distribution, food, and biology of rotifers with emphasis on Brachionus plicalilis.

The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis is genus Brachionus. The term “diet” refers to food utilized especially notable because of its short life cycle, simple by rotifers, whereas “food” denotes usage of rotifers by dietary requirements, capability of high density cultiva- other organisms for food.
