Fig. 14. Growth of Branchinecta lindahli reared at 20.0-2l.5 DC in the flow-through system using diet 3. Test culture started with 3 days-old
larvae. Bars represent standard deviations.
Chlorella as food at 28 DC. Lake (1969) reported a
lower growth rate in Chirocephalus diaphanus Prevost, which reached sexual maturity on day 12 at a
standard length of 10-12 mm, when cultured at 25 DC
and fed Scenedesmus.
Acknowledgments
We thank Dr Denton Belk, and Dr Michael Fugate for
the cysts of T. platyurus, and B. lindahli. Also, we
thank Dr S. S. S. Sarma for useful comments. The first
author has a doctoral fellowship with Consejo Nacional
de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACYT), Mexico.
