Objectives of the Course
In this lecture, It’ll be learned about production techniques of different algae species and both zooplanktonic organisms such as Rotifer, Artemia, Copepod, Daphnia and their nauplius, and microalgae being their primary food consisted of first feeding of fish larvae belonging to some fish species such as catfish, carp e.g. as any freshwater species; European Seabream and Seabass, turbot e.g. as marine species, and sturgeons e.g. as anadromus species obtained from their fertilized eggs by artificial methods and also crustacean postlarvae, especially like shrimps e.g. hatching by same ways.
