Dynamique d'une population expérimentale de Brachionus dimidiatus (Bryce) (Rotifère) en fonction de la nourriture et de la température
The dynamic of a laboratory population of Brachionus dimidiatus (Bryce) (Rotatoria) in relation to food and temperature

La concentration du milieu en carbonates alcalins, entre 1 et 18 g 1-1, n'affecte pas le taux intrinsèque d'accroissement naturel de B. dimidiatus qui dépend essentiellement de la température et de la qualité de la nourriture offerte. Les taux de croissance les plus élevés sont obtenus avec les Cyanophycées Chroococcales (Synechococcus cedrorum) ou des Chlorophycées Volvocales (Dunaliella salina) unicellulaires de petites tailles. La température agit peu sur le taux net de reproduction et le fort taux intrinsèque d'accroissement naturel à 30° est dû au raccourcissement des temps de développement embryonnaire et post-embryonnaire ainsi qu'à la rapidité du rythme de ponte.
Abstract
Concentrations of NaHCO3 in the water, between 1 and 18 g 1-1do not affect the intrinsic rate of natural increase in populations of B. dimidiatus. This rate depends chiefly on temperature and food quality. The highest rates of growth were obtained with unicellular blue-green algae (Synechoccus cedrorum) or green algae (Dunaliella salina). The influence of temperature on the life span, fecundity, egg development and minimum generation time was esta-blished at 20, 25 and 30 °C. Temperature has little effect on the net reproductive rate. The high intrinsic rate of natural increase at 30 °C is due to reduced embryonic and post-embryonic development times and also to the speed of the rhythm of egg laying.
