Recently, the importance of the female to population dynamics—especially her non‐genetic
contribution to offspring fitness or maternal effect—has received much attention in studies of …

Since the introduction of the microbial loop concept, awareness of the role played by
protozooplankton in marine food webs has grown. By consuming bacteria, and then being …

To increase current knowledge on the nutritional value of natural prey organisms, the
biochemical components of mainly three copepods (Acartia grani, Centropages hamatus …

Weight‐specific growth (G) and instantaneous mortality (M) rates are linked processes
during early life, and the MIG ratio determines stage‐specific mortality. A comparative …

Des larves de morue (Gadus morhua) provenant des côtes de Norvège (CN) et du nord-est
de l'Arctique (NA) ont été nourries de zooplancton vivant dans le but d'étudier leur …

The early development of the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua was studied from fertilization until
first‐feeding. Multiple families were reared at 7° C and a developmental staging series was …

Newly-hatched Epinephelus coioides larvae were stocked in five 5-ton tanks at an initial
density of 25,000 ind/tank. Copepod nauplii were propagated in four of these tanks by …

Laboratory studies have shown that suboptimal prey concentrations during the first feeding
usually result in slower growth and higher mortality. We investigated the growth, survival and …

The feeding habits of co-occurring Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and cod (Gadus morhua)
larvae have been studied in the Bornholm Basin, Baltic Sea during 12 cruises covering the …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the role of microscale turbulence in the feeding
ecology of larval fish. The chapter reviews the development and application of the term …
