A list is given of all zooplankton species hitherto reported from Thailand, based on the author's own observations and on the literature .From a comparison with the fauna of some neighbour countries, it appears that important gaps remain to be filled-in.
The traditional culture method of Trichogaster pectoralis, using zooplankton produced from fermenting aquatic weeds as a source of food for the fry, leads to productions of ca 1 000 kg ha-1 a_1 . If chicken manure is applied at a rate of ca 450 kg ha -1 month-1 instead, much more zooplankton is produced more rapidly, and fish production increases to ca 2 000 kg ha -1 a-1 . This results from a higher survival rate of the fry, which feeds on rotifers, ciliates, copepods and cladocera until a size of ca 15 .0 mm, when plant material also becomes important in the diet .Introduction and background
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
