sure, if you are culturing rotifers. Use it to drain the culture through, dump the waste water, rinse the rotifers back into the culture tank, or rinse into the tank to be fed.

That's way too fine for rotifers. Use 53 micron for rotifers. I can't even think of any pelagic copepods that have nauplii that small. You could sieve phytoplankton out of water with 1 micron. Most phytoplankton is 2-20 microns.
