ABSTRACT: We examined the effect of hydrostatic pressure on copepod eggs to test the hypothesis that eggs of calanoid copepods can develop, hatch, and be successfully recruited under the environmental ...

FORSTER 1 has recently examined the peritrophic membrane in Caridea (Crustacea, Decapoda). He found a membrane in the mid-gut of all the Caridea examined and was able to show that it was chitinous. A ...

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the feeding, egg production rate (EPR), and the egg hatching success (EHS) of resulting eggs of adult Acartia clausi subject to realistic food levels (100 μg C l–1) of 7 algae.

Copepods represent a pivotal component in aquaculture and larviculture, serving as an essential live feed that bridges the nutritional gap in early fish larval development. Their rich biochemical ...

A deep-sea mystery has been solved with the discovery that the tiny 3 mm long marine animals, eaten by herring, cod and mackerel, use the same buoyancy control as whales. Reporting this week in the ...

Imagine a species that is only one millimetre long and has only a limited swimming ability. Yet, its mobility is sufficient for moving, feeding and reproducing in freshwater and seawater. That's ...

'Calanoid Copepods of the Arabian Sea Region' marks the first time peer-reviewed taxonomic information on zooplankton for the northwestern Indian Ocean has been collected in one place and in ...

Calanoid Copepoda from 2,000 m to 4,000 m were collected with closing nets on R.V. Trident cruises 023 and 036 in the North and South Atlantic. Both the Nansen vertical net and the large Clarke-Bumpus ...
