Effects of temperature, pH, and photoperiod on the performance of a freshwater cladoceran Moina micrura culture enriched with Lysinibacillus fusiformis and Bacillus pocheonensis
Abstract:The freshwater cladoceran Moina micrura has tremendous potential for mass culture as a live feed for larviculture. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics Lysinibacillus fusiformis A1 and Bacillus pocheonensis S2 in enhancing the population density, growth rate, and production of M. micrura under different environmental conditions. Four different temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30°C), pH levels (4, 6, 8, and 10), and photoperiods (4L:20D, 6L:18D, 8L:16D, and 12L:12D) were set up. The daily number… Show more
