Application of heavy-ion-beam irradiation to breeding large rotifer.
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem

Article Synopsis
- In larviculture, rotifers are crucial as an initial food source for fish larvae, but their size and density must be managed properly to prevent mortality and developmental issues.
- The study applied carbon and argon heavy-ion-beam irradiation to create rotifer mutants with larger sizes, assessing factors like lethality and growth rates.
- Three promising rotifer mutants, TYC78, TYC176, and TYA41, demonstrated larger sizes and active population growth, indicating their potential as a solution for improving live feed in fish larviculture.
