A comparison of live food production using batch andchemostat systems between the facilities initiated in1988 and the re-establishment of new larger chemostatsystems, after Kuwait's liberation, is made. The livefood production dynamics achieved during the 1995-1996 spawning season of Shaem (Acanthopagrus latus)are discussed. Growth rate of the rotifers (Brachionusplicatilis) treated 24 h with a mixture of marinealgal species (Nannochloropsis, Isochrysis,Tetraselmis, Chlorella) plus other enrichment mediasuch as Super Selco, Protein Selco and Sanders priorto being supplied to the marine fish larvae isdiscussed. Rotifer production reached up to 2000 ×10^sup 6^ individuals per day.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
