[Protista] Re: Is it a rotifer ?

[Martin]

As a matter of fact, this organism was a rotifer of the genus 
Collotheca.  Thanks to Dr. Nomdedeu.  Thereafter, I was able to find a 
lot of infos about that genus on the web (even very nice movies of 
different species).  I will try to determine the species with some 
publications and papers on rotifers in Canada of which I found the 
references.
