Pavlovskaya & G.I. Abolmasova The determination of the feeding relations between organisms an the quantitative tendencies of the transformation of matter and energy by ecological groups within communities are the major points when studying the flow of energy through an ecosystem. These in- vestigations are based on the determination of the rate of consump- th tion of various types of food andYlndividual elements of the energy balance in the most prolific species of the zooplankton. Investi- gations of this type have been carried out on organisms from the L&J Z legvl boreal zone of the ocean [10, 11, 19-22, 26, etc.], but not very 0 ›- < g CC E many have been conducted in the tropical zone of the World Ocean 0 If) C 2 nr.

Material and Method The object of our study were six of.the.-most prolific species of crustaceans in the study areas, Scolecithrix danae Lubbock, Pleuromamma abdominalis Lubbock, Euchaeta marina Prestandrea, Eu- chirella cu.rticauda Giesbr., Rhincalanus nasutus Gièsbr. and Cypri- dina serrata G.W. Mtlller. The material was collected with DZhOM* nets with an intake dia- meter of 80 cm, made with. silk gauze No. 23 (mesh size 0.333 mm). Nets made with gauze No. 49 (mesh size 0.112 mm) were used to catch the small animals which were used as food in the experiments. After being caught, the animals were sorted according to species and size, and then placed in large containers where they were kept until ready for use. Some of the selected animals were measured, cleansed of salt with an isotonic solution of ammonium carbonate, and then used to determine the energy equivalent of body mass. The energy balance of copepods was studied by the radiocarbon method [1. 8]. One-litre containers were used in the experiments. From 3 to 23 specimens were used in each experiment, depending on the size of the animals. The experiments were carried out only with females. A mixture ofsmall animals,unicellular algae and phytogenic detritus was used as food in all the experiments. The consumption of the various components from the mixture was deter- mined by the method of alternate labelling of the items. *acronym unknown, transliterated from the Russian - translator -3- As shown by a preliminary and detailed study of the qualitative composition of the phytoplankton [2], small species of the genus Gymnodinium comprised the bulk of its biomass. Therefore, a mono- culture of Gymnodinium lanskaya and detritus prepared from these algae were given to the animals as aphytogenic, foOd. -In , some s experi- ments, the crustaceans were fed Ditylum brightwellii which had been brought back from the Indian Ocean by L.M. Sergeyeva l . The small zooplankton in the study areas consisted mainly of Temora and Oncaea species which were used as food in the experiments. The unicellular algae Gymnodinium lanskaya and Ditylum bright- wellii were grown on liquid media with 500 pC.1 -1 in diffused light. The detritus was prepared from unicellular algae, G. lanskaya, by a method described earlier [7]. The detrituà decomposed for a period of 7 days at a temperature of 22-25°C. In order to obtain a radioactive animal food, small crustaceans were first kept on t the food components labelled unicellular algae for 2-3 days. The concentration- in the balance experiments corresponded approximately to their abun- dance in the 0-100 m layer. According to our calculations, this amounted to about 0.5 - ca1.1 -1 of phytoplankton, the same amount of detritus and 1.1-2.0 cal.1 -1 of small zooplankters. The experiments were conducted during the day and night in order to determine the diurnal rhythm of the feeding rate. , The temperature was 21-22 °C in the experiments with S. danae, P. abdomi- nalis, E. marina and E. curticauda, and 24 °C in the experiments with R. conutus and C. serrata. 1We wish to thank L.A. Lanskaya and L.M. Sergeyeva for the cultures of unicellular algae. (67) The daily food balance of the crustaceans was determined by the sum of the individual elements, i.e. C = C d +R e +ReR s , where c denotes the ration, cd - the amount of energy accumulated in the body, R 0 .-energy expended on respiration, cd+R c - the amount of as- similated food (A), R s - solid excreta, R d - liquid excretions in the form of a dissolved organic substance, and R d+Rs - the unassi- milated part of the ration (F). Food assimilability was determined by the equation a = Cd+Re In order to determine C d , the animals were removed from the experimental containers, washed with an isotonic solution of am- monium carbonate, ground in a mortar, transferred onto a sheet of foil and dried at 60 °C. The water, which_contained the excreta of the animals, was passed through a membrane filter ("Synpor-3"), and the value R s was calculated. In the filtrate, we determined the amount of CO 2 released by the animals during respiration (R e ) and the content of dissolved organic matter (Re). The radioactive pre- parations were counted on an automatic VAV-100 radiation counting scaler with a SBT-13 end-type counter. All the experimental re- sults obtained in carbon units were converted to energy coefficients The 24-hr values of all the elements of the food balance of the animals were obtained from the corresponding initial components of the balance, which were determined in brief experiments. The animals in these experiments were kept on labelled food for the length of time required for its digestion, and this vai.ied from 30 min to 1.5 hrs, depending on the type of food and the time of day, and they were kept on unlabelled food for 2.5-3 hrs. The method of wet combustion with a 15% correction for incom- plete oxidation of organic matter was used to determine the specific activity of the food items (Cr) and the energy equivalent of the body mass of the animals. [4]. The values of the energy equivalent of body mass and the size characteristics of the study animals are given in table 1. Table 1.

Lyngby, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 March 2020; Accepted: 6 May 2020; Published: 11 May 2020 Abstract: Calanoid copepods have two swimming gaits, namely cruise swimming that is propelled by the beating of the cephalic feeding appendages and short-lasting jumps that are propelled by the power strokes of the four or five pairs of thoracal swimming legs. The latter may be 100 times faster than the former, and the required forces and power production are consequently much larger. Here, we estimated the magnitude and size scaling of swimming speed, leg beat frequency, forces, power requirements, and energetics of these two propulsion modes. We used data from the literature together with new data to estimate forces by two different approaches in 37 species of calanoid copepods: the direct measurement of forces produced by copepods attached to a tensiometer and the indirect estimation of forces from swimming speed or acceleration in combination with experimentally estimated drag coefficients. Depending on the approach, we found that the propulsive forces, both for cruise swimming and escape jumps, scaled with prosome length (L) to a power between 2 and 3.

Zoological Studies 50(4): 475-490. The Kuroshio Current (KC) is a northerly flowing warm-water current, which has major effects on the hydrography and faunal assemblages along the east coast of Taiwan. We studied the abundance and diversity of copepods at 5 stations for 3 consecutive years (2000-2002). Copepod samples were collected with a plankton net with a 1-m mouth opening and a mesh size of 333 μm deployed in oblique tows from 200 to 0 m in depth. In total, 174 copepod species including 6 orders, 31 families, and 68 genera (111 calanoids, 11 cyclopoids, 4 harpacticoids, 2 mormonilloids, 44 poecilostomatoids, and 2 siphonostomatoids) were identified at the species level. Spatial variations in copepod abundances among these 5 stations were not significant. The composition of the indicator species and cluster analysis varied seasonally, indicating seasonal succession. We suggest that copepod species of Acartia negligens, Clausocalanus mastigophorus, Cosmocalanus darwini, and Lucicutia flavicornis are indicator species of the KC in winter when the northeast monsoon (NEM) prevails; in contrast, Acrocalanus spp.

While R. nasutus fatty acid and alcohol profiles have been examined previously, little is known about lipids in R. rostrifrons or R. cornutus. Lipid profiles for wax ester, triacylglycerol, phospholipid, free fatty acid, sterol, and free fatty alcohol fractions were determined for these 3 species collected from the eastern tropical north Pacific, Gulf of California, and Gulf of Mexico. Storage lipids, primarily wax esters, were the dominant component (>88%) of total lipid in all 3 Rhincalanus species. R. nasutus, however, had distinctly different storage lipid fatty acid and alcohol profiles, with primarily 16:1(n-7)/18:1(n-9) fatty acids and 14:0/16:0 fatty alcohols, while R. cornutus and R. rostrifrons accumulated 14:0/16:0 fatty acids and 16:1/18:1 fatty alcohols. Species differences also were observed in sterol profiles, with R.

They live in association with par­ ticular hosts and exhibit various reductive tendencies (Gotto, 1979; Kabata, 1979). The reductive tendencies often appear as simplification and/or reduction of adult appendages, which have been considered as important key characters in their tax­ onomy and phylogeny (notably Wilson, op. cit.; Kabata, op. cit.). Larval morpholo­ gy has not been taken into taxonomic and phylogenetic consideration. This is par­ ticularly unfortunate when dealing with the poecilostome Cyclopoida, which include many species with transformed adults. Our knowledge on the ontogeny of the Copepoda have been accumulated through the efforts of many workers (see refer­ ences), but still it covers only a small part of the Copepoda. History of study on the nauplii of parasitic copepods goes back to the 1830's, as seen in the description of a nauplius of Lernaea (see Nordmann, 1832). I have been studying the ontogeny of the parasitic and semi-parasitic Copepoda since 1969 and have reported larval stages of various species (Izawa, 1969; 1973; 1975; 1986a, b).

Protozoan graz- ing on bacterioplankton and autotrophic ultraplankton was studied by the Landry dilution method. Microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton >6 µm was studied by incubation experiments in the presence and absence of microzooplankton. Mesozooplankton grazing was studied by measuring per capita clearance rates of individual zooplankton with radioactively labelled food organisms and esti- mating in situ rates from abundance values. Protozoan grazing rates on heterotrophic bacteria and on algae <6 µm were high (bacteria: 0.7 to 1.1 d–1, ultraphytoplankton: 0.7 to 1.3 d–1), while grazing rates on Synechococcus spp. were surprisingly low and undetectable in some experiments.
