Cultivation of infusoria as a starter live feed for marine finfish larvae

Infusoria are the microscopic single celled animalcules belonging to Class, Ciliata and Phylum, Protozoa. Seed production of marine finfish is still facing problem particularly on suitable live feed for early stage larvae. Currently, S- or SS-type rotifers, which have sizes from 100 to 200 μm, are u...
