Project: Feeding and food limitation in copepod nauplii, the neglected life stage (food limitation in copepod nauplii)

We estimated feeding rates of each copepod species and stage on three phytoplankton species that were ingested during the GPI (gut pigment index) experiments: the prasinophyte Tetraselmis suecica, the cryptomonad Rhodomonas salina, and the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana
