Abstract

The effect of population density on the Daphnia carinata individuals were investigated at two different densities with similar food
medium. There is no difference in age at first reproduction, low-significant changes in carpace length and the number of neonates produced after 15 days to AFR, however, egg diapauses only visible in high density cultures. These findings suggest that high population density depresses both growth in adult instars and parthenogenesis to induce ephippial egg under enriched culture medium.
