KARAKTERISTIK MORFOMETRI ROTIFER Brachionus rotundiformis DARI PERAIRAN SULAWESI UTARA
ABSTRACT: This research aims
to know the morphometry of rotifers taken from differentlocations in North
Sulawesi Water. Plankton sampling was done in six area, three locations were
chosen to represent coastal waters which are opened to Sulawesi Sea (Likupang,
Tumpaan, Meras), and three other locations which are opened to Molluccas Sea
(Minanga, Watuliney, Manembo-nembo). Samples of rotifers were collected by pankton
net. Samples were then preserved using of formaldehyde solution and for further
identification and measurements. Measurement of rotifers morphometry was done
on the lorica length, lorica width, anterior width and total length. Based on
the measurement, it is found that rotifers have a lorica length (140 µm-220 µm)
or S type. The size of rotifers from Watuliney Water is relatively bigger than
rotifers from Meras Water.
