Lake information, maximum growth rates and optimal salinities.

*B. manjavacas grew with the same rmax from 5 to 30 g/L.1Lapesa [29];2Ortells et al. [28];3García-Ferrer et al. [62];4this study;5Rodríguez-Rodríguez & Moral Martos [63];6Boronat et al. [64];7Alonso [65].Lakes where rotifer clones were isolated, with geographic location and their recorded salinity range. Salinity at which the maximum daily growth rate (rmax) is achieved in each lake for B. plicatilis and B. manjavacas, as estimated in the laboratory, is shown. Average optimal salinity, calculated as the average of the salinity at which each clone reaches their maximum growth rate, is also provided.
