Effect of Diatom Silica Content on Copepod Grazing, Growth and Reproduction
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Diatoms are often a major food source for zooplankton and contribute significantly to vertical POC flux through sinking of dead cells, aggregates and zooplankton fecal pellets.

Patchy zooplankton grazing and high energy conversion efficiency: Ecological implications of sandeel behavior and strategy [PDF]
, 2013 Sandeel display strong site-fidelity, and spend most of their life buried in the seabed. This strategy carries important ecological implications. Sandeels save energy when they are not foraging but in return are unable to move substantially and therefore

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Improvement of copepod nutritional quality as live food for aquaculture: a review
, 2016 In hatchery, an adequate supply of live food for first-feeding fish larvae is essential and nutritional quality of live food organisms can be improved through nutrient enrichment.

Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids (MAAs) in Zooplankton
Marine Drugs, 2020 Organisms have different adaptations to avoid damage from ultraviolet radiation and one such adaptation is the accumulation of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs).

Evaluation of Mesocyclops annulatus (Copepoda: Cyclopoidea) as a control agent of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Argentina. [PDF]
, 2004 We evaluated the potential of Mesocyclops annulatus as a control agent of Aedes aegypti in La Plata city (Argentina). Mosquito larval survivorship due to predation by these copepods was estimated at weekly intervals during the oviposition period of A ...
