A complex food (dilute duff infusion, yeast, and two species of algae) was found to be highly satisfactory in rearing the anostracan Eubranchipus bundyi. Yeast alone could be used to culture this species but monoxenic algal cultures were inadequate diets. The complex diet was easily quantified for routine rearing and experiments and was measured in terms of particulate carbon.
