Int roductioii
Mass ctiltiiresof zooplankton liavc becotnea potential resource for fish food organisms with the realization of the importance of secondary prodrictivitj, of zooplankton in aqiiatic environments. C'ladocerans have been the siihject of much research on popri-1at ion ecology (ET)MONDSON and IJTT; HEBERT; PREPAS and KIOLRH: KRUEGEH and 1)ouson) and they were largely w e d for mass cultures because of their ease of ciilt tire and short niiiltivoltirie life cycle. L4kho~igh a wealth of information about their ciiltirre method has acciimnlated (C'ONKLIN and YROVASOLI : MIURUOAN), studies on the optimum space requirements of cladocerans are very meagre. Recent stirdies of JANA and PAL (l983a, 11, c ; l984a, b) have indicated the ,aro\vtIr and reproductive potentials 'of certain cladocerans. The present communication deals ivitli the results of population growth responses of Dlh?)Iiu~ti,OsoN/Ii ezciszori sac:^) in flasks of varied space conditions with fixed inociiluin under outdoor ronditions.
