PENGAMATAN TERHADAP PEMBIAKAN CLADOCERA (Macrothrix sp.) DAN PHYTOPLANKTON SECARA EKSITU
ABSTRACT: Zooplankton plays
important role in food chain system within fresh water ecosystem. In the
trophic level it acts
as bridging energy
from phytoplankton to
fish juvenile. Meanwhile
research on this plankton is considerably lacking. This
study is aimed to test culturing cladocera in the laboratory. Cladocera and
phytoplankton were collected
from Lutan Lake-Palangkaraya and
the transported to the
laboratory. Three fish
water tank were
used to culture
cladocera for 5-week
testing. The results indicate
that there was a negative relationship between average numbers of cladocera dan
phytoplankton during culturing
period. Two-week culturing
period was identified
as the most optimal period for culturing cladocera
under laboratory condition.
