Trophic studies on the Okhotsk Sea herring in the 2000s (food composition, daily rations, assessment of consumption in the annual cycle)

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2016
Daily ration of the Okhotsk Sea herring is estimated as 3.9 % of the body weight in spring, 7.7 % in summer, 4.9 % in autumn, and 1.2 % in winter. Its mean annual consumption is assessed as 35.9 million t of prey, mainly zooplankton (97.3 % of the ration)

Feeding of a pelagic chaetognath, Sagitta friderici Ritter-Záhony off Ubatuba region (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Oceanography, 1992
The diet of Sagitta friderici off Ubatuba region, São Paulo State, was studied in March, 1989. Specimens were collected with a closing-net during three days at six hours' intervals (00:00; 06:00; 12:00; 18:00 h), at a fixed station of 38 m depth.

Vertical Distribution, Community and Population Structures of the Planktonic Chaetognatha in the Western Subarctic Pacific: Insights on the Eukrohnia Species Group

open access: yesOceans, 2023
In the oceans, Chaetognatha can contribute significantly to the total zooplankton biomass (up to 10–30%). The genus Eukrohnia, the dominant Chaetognath genus in the western subarctic Pacific, includes E. hamata and E. bathypelagica.
