Domesticating rotifer as animal feed using natural phytoplankton from eutrophic waters

Abstract Rotifer biomass may be amplified with natural phytoplankton while rotifer seeds can be raised with auto- and hetero-trophically cultured microorganisms. Centralizing the seed raising but decentralizing the biomass amplification should make scaling rotifer domestication up convenient. We con...

description Abstract Rotifer biomass may be amplified with natural phytoplankton while rotifer seeds can be raised with auto- and hetero-trophically cultured microorganisms. Centralizing the seed raising but decentralizing the biomass amplification should make scaling rotifer domestication up convenient. We configure here a conceptional system with which rotifer are domesticated with natural phytoplankton and harvested as animal feed, which may achieve simultaneously animal feed production and environmental governance.
