Nutritional regulation of egg production of Calanus finmarchicus in the North Atlantic
Entry ID:
GLOBEC_101_UK_021
Summary
Abstract:
The proposed work is a combination of two projects: (1) An
examination of the role of food quality (C, N , fatty acids) in influencing egg production of Calanus finmarchicus, using ship-board experiments in which copepods are fed in situ food. Experiments will be undertaken on Marine Productivity cruises in spring and autumn. The work is proposed as a tied studentship. (2) Complementary ship-board experiments in which copepods are fed labelled tracers in food to examine the extent to which Calanus can synthesise de novo so-called "essential" fatty acids. Analysis of results will be underpinned by the quantitative stoichiometry theory proposed by Anderson and Pond (2000: Limnol Oceaogr 45, 1162-7). Geographic Coverage
