Copepod carcasses are prevalent in marine ecosystems and might represent an important component of the sinking flux particulate organic carbon ocean. The extent to which copepod contribute biological pump is controlled by different environmental factors, including temperature. However, effect temperature on longer-term kinetics mineralization not well-studied. We conducted laboratory experiment...

A summary of zooplankton research done in Peruvian marine waters is presented. We first provide a brief overview the evolution studies off Peru before reviewing biodiversity, regional distribution, seasonal and interannual fluctuation, trophodynamics, secondary production, modeling are some these topics. evaluate on various meroplankton, macroplankton, mesoplankton, microplankton groups list sp...

This study analyses the feeding ecology of Brevortia aurea (Brazilian menhaden) larvae during a reproductive season in Río de la Plata estuary (RPE), and explores its changes along larval development. Data were obtained from stomach content 205 individuals collected with Bongo net spring 2001. Larvae discriminated into preflexion (PF), flexion (F) post-flexion (PsF) stages. Feeding was describe...
