The effects of salinity, temperature, and light conditions on production and development, longevity, survival and sex ratios of the cyclopoid copepod, A. dengizicus were determined. Seven different salinity levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 psu), four temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35 °C), three different light intensities (33.3, 85.3, 162.1 μmol photons/ m2/ s) and light regimes (24:0, 0:24, and 12...

BACKGROUND The St. Lucia Estuary, Africa's largest estuarine lake, is currently experiencing unprecedented freshwater deprivation which has resulted in a northward gradient of drought effects, with hypersaline conditions in its northern lakes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS This study documents the changes that occurred in the biotic communities at False Bay from May 2010 to June 2011, in ord...

The study aimed to investigate the growth rate and population size of copepod Apocyclops dengizicus under different culture conditions salinity, temperature, diet. Five salinities, four levels diet ratios baker’s yeast microalgae were employed for a 20-day experiment. results showed that A. could survive in every experimental concentration salinity after 20 days culture, which highest largest r...
