Life Table Responses of Moina micrura Fed with Different Food Concentrations
Abstract
This study examined the effect of Chlorella vulgaris concentrations on life table responses in Moina micrura. The four diets tested in the experiment were 0, 400, 40,000 and 4,000,000 cells per mL of Chlorella vulgaris. The result showed that the greatest number of offspring per brood (10.4 ± 0.4 offspring per brood) and total number of offspring per female (65.3 ± 1.9 offspring per female) were observed in M. micrura fed with 4,000,000 cells per mLof C. vulgaris (P < 0.05). Culturing of M. micrura with no food supply produced the lowest number of offspring per brood and total number of offspring per female (P < 0.05). Age at maturity, number of broods per female and life span of M. micrura were no significant difference between treatments (P > 0.05). The results of this study indicate that food concentrations had effects on the number of offspring per brood and the total number of offspring per female of M. micrura.
