Abstract:

The feeding responses of Cyclops sp. fed on Chlorella vulgaris at various concentrations were studied. The filtration rate of Cyclops ranged from 3.0 to 6.43 µl/h individual. The range of food concentrations was 515 to 2039 cells/µl. The critical food concentration was 14.35 cells µl. The ingestion rate was recorded a maximum of 9971 cells/h/individual at the concentration of 771 cells/µl. This study also relates filtration rate with pH and dissolved oxygen.
