Cladocerans are key in the food web, contributing to nutrition of aquatic species. We determined the effect of temperature (20, 25, and 30 °C) and food type (Nannochloris oculata, Scenedesmus obliquus, and Selenastrum capricornutum) on Ceriodaphnia cornuta. Results show greater longevity and life expectancy at 20 °C, regardless of the food type. However, net reproductive rate is greater at 25-30 °C, with S. obliquus and S. capricornutum. According to the reproductive value, the highest rate of fertility and fecundity occurs with S. obliquus. The lowest values were recorded with N. oculata. Temperature is more influential than type of food for: longevity, fecundity, and fertility.
