Fish fry and crustacean larvae are apparently specific to type and size of the feed for their survival and growth. At present successful rearing of fish and crustacean larvae depends upon the availability of suitable live feed organisms. Existing,literature reveals that only very few species have been used as live feed organisms of which rotifers and cladocerans are of prime importance in aquaculture industry
