Abstract
Since the introduction of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis as a food source for larval fish [Ito, 1960], fingerling production in an average Japanese commercial marine hatchery has increased to more than one million fingerlings of red sea bream, Pagrus major, per year. However, to make the release of artificially produced fingerlings more effective as a coastal management project, it is necessary to increase our current production of B. plicatilis.
