In trials, a culture diet that naturally enhances rotifers and eliminates the need for enrichment was tested. Skretting feed specialists found similar growth and reproduction figures were registered with a conventional rotifer enrichment diet and a standalone diet for a period of nine weeks.

Unlike artemia, which is largely a commodity item, rotifers need to be raised at farm sites and nutritionally tailored to the requirements of the species being cultured.
