The objective of this work was to analyze in detail the viability of the culture and the biochemical composition of the Chlorophyceae algae Ankistrodesmus gracilis and of the Cladocera Diaphanosoma birgei in laboratory. The experiment was carried out in the Limnology Laboratory and Plankton Production in the São Paulo State Aquaculture Center at UNESP (CAUNESP). The algae were cultivated using a culture media of Chu12 and NPK (20:5:20), under continuous light (4000 and 1100 lux for massive and small scale, respectively), constant aeration and controlled temperature (24.0±2.0ºC). Algae production time was of 31 days, concentration during the exponential phase varied from 68.5 to 358.38 x 104 cells.ml-1 in different volumes of culture. Biochemical analyses revealed that the algae presents 32.6% of protein, 20.0% of carbohydrate, 8.0% ethereal extract, 18.3% of ashes, 3.2% of fibers and 4.583 cal/g. The aminogram revealed that 58.7% of the protein was made up of essential aminoacids. The Ca:P relation was of approximately 1:1. The cladoceran was derived from the CAUNESP fish culture ponds, isolated and produced in volumes of 500ml to 850L, in batch system, fed with A. gracilis, at temperatures of 23.3±3.6ºC, natural photoperiod and mild airing. Cladocera production time was of 27 days with final density of 2500 individuals.L-1. The biochemical analyses of this micro-crustacean revealed a composition of 70.0% of protein, 5.7% of carbohydrate, 8.7% of ethereal extract, 11.5% of ashes, 4.3% of fibers and 4627 cal/g. The results here presented suggest that Ankistrodesmus gracilis and Diaphanosoma birgei are species with potential for culture and feeding in aquaculture
