Abstract Many protist plankton are mixotrophs, combining phototrophy and phagotrophy. Their role in freshwater marine ecology has emerged as a major developing feature of research over recent decades. To better aid discussions, we suggest these organisms termed “mixoplankton”, “planktonic that express, or have potential to phagotrophy”. The term “phytoplankton” then describes phototrophic incapable “Protozooplankton” phagotrophic protists do not engage acquired phototrophy. complexity the...

Planktonic food webs play an important role driving the environmental fate of persistent organic pollutants, and POP accumulation in phytoplankton has been previously studied for its importance as a first step aquatic webs. However, little is known about cycling pollutants between zooplankton water. The present study shows results laboratory experiments on bioconcentration (by passive uptake) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Rhodomonas salina) copepods (Paracartia(acartia) grani), by...
Abstract Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of natural variations in size and recruitment strength marine fish populations. In this study, relation between size-at-hatch survival was assessed using laboratory experiments on field-caught larvae European sardine ( Sardina pilchardus ). Larval not related to egg but significantly, positively diameter otolith-at-hatch. Otolith diameter-at-hatch also significantly correlated with survival-at-age fed unfed laboratory. For collected...

Abstract In the present study, acute toxicity of 10 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) associated with Prestige fuel oil spill (Spain, 2002) were evaluated, either as single substances or in mixtures, adults copepod Oithona davisae . All but dimethylphenanthrene had negative effects on O. survival at concentrations below their water solubility, 48‐h median lethal for naphthalene and pyrene 56.1 0.8 μmol/L, respectively, making these least most toxic compounds.

We describe patterns of body size scaling feeding by marine calanoid copepods based on a literature review. Maximum rates copepods, determined in the laboratory, were temperature independent and scaled conformity to three‐quarters universal law followed animals. Field (log transformed) dependent food availability, temperature, size, combination, these three variables explained 81% variance. The mass for field data, however, showed much lower slope, indicating severe limitation larger...
Abstract Zooplankton may modify their feeding behavior in response to prey availability and presence of predators with implications populations both prey. Optimal foraging theory predicts that such responses result a type II functional for passive foragers III active foragers, the latter having stabilizing effect on populations. Here, we test theoretical predictions underlying mechanisms pelagic copepods are actively (feeding‐current feeders), passively (ambushers), or can switch between two...
We report the effects of small‐scale turbulence on feeding rates marine copepod Oithona davisae . Laboratory experiments were conducted under a range dissipation between 10 −4 and 1 cm 2 s −3 Net enhancements observed only at lowest, whereas negative net appeared highest, intensities. These results contrast with expectations from an encounter‐based model for this species that predicted positive all This disagreement suggests presence detrimental moderate high intensities, very likely driven...

Dilution grazing experiments are the most commonly used method for quantifying microzooplankton rates on phytoplankton. However, in some cases, outcomes of these yield non-significant impacts, even when microbial grazers numerous, or result unexpected non-linear functions positive slopes. Here, we argue that situations and others may go unnoticed can be explained by trophic cascades occurring community confined within incubation experiments. When present, simple linear models relating...
