Domesticating rotifer as animal feed using natural phytoplankton from eutrophic waters
Rotifer biomass may be amplified with natural phytoplankton while rotifer seeds can be raised with auto- and hetero-trophically cultured microorganisms. Centralizing the seed raising but decentralizing the biomass amplification should make scaling rotifer domestication up convenient. We configure here a conceptional system with which rotifer are domesticated with natural phytoplankton and harvested as animal feed, which may achieve simultaneously animal feed production and environmental governance.
