Culture of Zooplankton (Brachionus Calyciflorus, Moina Micrura and Daphnia Pulex) As Live Food for Heterobranchus Bidorsalis Hatchlings.

ABSTRACT Live food Zooplankton population density in different zones of Awuma River at Shabu were investigated and Brachionus calyciflorus, Moina micrura and Daphnia pulex screened from littoral zone of the River at Shabu before the onset of rainy season was isolated into mono specific culture in the laboratory. Cow dung, chicken droppings, groundnut cake, soyabean cake, rice bran and single super phosphate were combined in different proportions of three, four and five combinations of manure...
