AB  - The effect of Caloric Restriction (CR) on life span of fresh water rotifer (<I>Brachionus calyciflorus</I>) was investigated in this study. Groups were fed at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 h intervals with 0.5 mL (1.5x10<SUP>6</SUP> cell mL<SUP>-1</SUP>) <I>Chlorella </I>sp. to apply CR. Significant changes were observed in maximum and average life spans in groups subjected to CR (p<0.05). Maximum life span in 36 h group was determined as 15 days, while it was 10 days in control group. Reproduction life span was observed to be increasing in spite of decreasing number of eggs. The results show that CR affected life span and reproduction in rotifer <I>B. calyciflorus</I>.
