If you want to get the bible on live food rearing I'd highly recommend
purchasing:
Plankton Culture Manual
by Frank H. Hoff
Publisher: Florida Aqua Farms Inc; ISBN: 0966296001; 5th Rev edition (July
1999), 160 pages
I'm not sure if you can pick it up on Amazon.com or not, but I do know that
Florida Aqua Farms sells the book: http://www.florida-aqua-farms.com/,
which is where I got mine. IIRC I purchased it for somewhere around
$30-$35.
The book goes over just about every live food you would want to rear for
either freshwater or saltwater organisms: phytoplankton, rotifers, brine
shrimp, microworms, vinegar eels, daphnia, moina, mysis, copepods, ciliates,
etc. Excellent read. :)
