Title: Rotifers
Post by: ehd123 on Mar 7, 2014
Hello everyone :)

How could we use Rotifers in aquaculture? What are their potentials in the aquaculture field and approximately how much do they return in their revenues for an aquaculturing investing company? And how long would they need to make the revenues (How many months, or years etc) ?

Hello padre
thank you for the source :) But what is aquatic or ecotoxicology?

Not sure what you mean, but ecotoxicology is the study of the effects of toxic chemicals on biological organisms, especially at the population, community, ecosystem level.

So Rotifers are used to clean up the toxic chemicals from the aquatic system?

Yes and no. They are used to detect (sort of like an indicator) if there are toxins in an environment. That's the way I understand it.
