Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A feasibility study was performed on the use of a recirculation system for the mass culture of rotifers at an industrial level. Rotifer culture systems were operated at three different stocking densities (3000, 5000, and 7000 individuals.ml-1) in a completely closed recirculation system. At all operating rotifer densities, a reliable production of 2.2 billion rotifers could be obtained on a daily basis during three weeks. Excellent water quality was maintained by the use of protein skimmers, ozone, and a submerged biofilter. The microbial counts remained stable during the whole culture period (106CFU.ml-1 on marine agar and 104CFU.ml-1 on TCBS after 15 days and 23 days, respectively). No difference in HUF A and protein content were obtained between rotifers harvested from the recirculation system or from a conventional batch culture system. Compared to a commercial batch culture system, the use of a recirculation system can contribute to a 30% saving on the capital investment and the annual operation cost. By using this system, capital investment cost is reduced considerably by 31 %. Savings are also made on labour (65%) and feed costs ( 10% ) during a one-year production. |
