본 연구는 먹이종류에 따라 고밀도로 배양한 rotifer를 넙치 자어에게 공급하였을 때 이들의 먹이효율을 조사하였다. Rotifer 고밀도 배양의 실험구 먹이는 18 시간 동안 담수산 Chlorella를 공급한 후 6시간 유지효모 및 $Marine;{alpha}$를 공급한 것과 24시간 동안 담수산 농축 Chlorella 및 해수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급한 것으로 하였다. 배양수조는 $2l$를 이용하였고 수온 $28{circ}C$를 유지하였다. $Marine {alpha}$와 해수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급한 실험구의 n-3 HUFA 함량이 유지효모와 담수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급한 실험구보다 높게 나타났다. 따라서 $Marine;{alpha}$와 해수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급한 실험구가 유지효모와 담수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급한 실험구보다 넙치 자어의 성장과 생존률이 높게 나타났다. 또한 $Marine;{alpha}$로 배양된 rotifer를 섭취한 넙치 자어 자체의 지방산 중 n-3 HUFA비율이 다른 먹이보다 높게 나타났지만 안정적 배양은 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험을 통해서 rotifer 고밀도 배양시 안정적인 rotifer 성장과 rotifer의 질적 개선을 위해서는 24시간 해수산 농축 Chlorella를 공급하는 것이 효율적이며 이들을 넙치 자어에게 공급하였을 때 가장 적절한 먹이일 것으로 판단된다.
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of rotifer fed the different diets in high density culture on larval flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Potifer was enriched with enrichment supplements, Marine ${alpha};and;{omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours after being cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 18 hours during high density culture before it was fed to larval flounder. And rotifer was culutured with marine Chlorella and freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours during semi-continuous high density culture before it was fed to larval flounder. Culture tanks(21 working volum) set for rotifer culture in a water bath($28{circ}C$) were continuously supplied with oxygen gas. The content of n-3 HUFA to fatty acids in rotifer(dry weight ${\%}$) enriched with Marine ${alpha}$ for 6 hours and cultures with marine Chlorella for 24 hours were higher than that in rotifer enriched with ${omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours or cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours. The growth and survival rates of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with Marine ${alpha}$ for 6 hours and cultured with marine Chlorella for 24 hours were higher than those of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with ${omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours or cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours. And the content of n-3 HUFA of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with Marine ${alpha}$ for 6 hours was higher than that of larval flounder fed on other rotifers, The results from this study indicated that rotifer culture with marine Chiorelia would be suitable for the high density culture and effective diet for the growth of larval flounder.
