- See text.
- (Rotifers) A phylum that includes organisms that have ciliated mouths and a retractable "foot" for anchoring.
- (Rotifers) Microscopic ciliated animals. Commonly used in the culture of marine species where live diets are essential during early stages. The most commonly used species of rotifer is Brachionus plicatilis. ...
- (rotifers) Members of the invertebrate phylum Rotifera. Important among freshwater plankton and in nutrient recycling in aquatic systems. They are minute, less than one millimetre in length, and usually transparent.
- Any of various tiny, multicellular aquatic animals of the phylum Rotifera, having a wheel-like ring of cilia at their front ends.
- Zooplanktonic animal that serves as food (live prey) for fish larvae. A rotifer is shaped like a bag surrounded by a circle of ciliated tufts.
- Microscopic animals which are an important food source for fish.
- A tiny water animal that has one or more rings of hairlike cilia on a disk at the head of the body. (SS)
