To forecast the result of mass culture of the rotifer, Byachionus plicatilis, physiological activities of individual animals were evaluated. Indices Criteria were percentage of feeding individuals, extent of digestive organs in the body, frequency distribution of lorica length and tolerance to hyper-saline environment. The percentage of feeding individuals decreased with time, and the lowest value was observed near the peak of the growth curve. The size distribution of feeding individuals and the extent of digestive organs changed only when the culture condition deteriorated sharply. As for the nonfeeding individuals, a specified size fraction increased in the course of culture. Hyper-saline tolerance for individuals in 70ppt for 3 hours suddenly dropped when the growth was close to the peak. It was more sensitive in egg-bearing females. The culture started with rotifers of low tolerance showed a stagnant growth. From the results, the percentage of feeding individuals and the size distribution of non-feeding individuals seemed to be useful for forecasting the change of mass culture. And, hyper-saline tolerance was considered to be a suitable predictor of rotifer growth and production in the cultures.
