The intrinsic of increase(r_m),finite rate of increase(λ),mean generation time(T),net reproduction rate(R₀),mean lifespan,age at first brood,mean interval between clutch and fecundity of Daphnia carinata were studied under different temperatures (15,20,25,30℃) and pH values (6,7,8,9,10).The results indicated that temperature was of great importance to the reproduction of D.carinata .The mean generation time(T),mean lifespan,age at first brood, mean interval between clutch decreased with increasing temperature,while intrinsic of increase(r_m)and finite rate of increase(λ)increased with temperature varying from 15-30℃.The intrinsic of increase(r_m)at 30℃ was significantly higher than in other groups.Effects of pH on the survival and neonate production of D.carinata were also studied.Results showed that there was no significant difference among pH 7,8,9 and 10. When D.carinata was reared at pH 6,intrinsic of increase(r_m)and finite rate of increase(λ)were significantly higher than those reared in other groups.
