title: Effect of Microalgae Species and Concentration on Grazing Rate and Egg Production of Copepods &lt;i&gt;Calanipeda aquaedulcis&lt;/i&gt; Kritschagin, 1873 and &lt;i&gt;Arctodiaptomus salinus&lt;/i&gt; (Daday, 1885)
abstract: The effect of concentration of the microalgae, haptophyte Isochrysis galbana and dinophyte Prorocentrum cordatum, on the daily grazing rate (G) and daily egg production rate (EPR) of the brackish-water copepods Arctodiaptomus salinus and Calanipeda aquaedulcis was studied under experimental conditions. Daily grazing rates of copepods increased logarithmically with increasing microalgae concentration. The maximum grazing rates in both species were observed when feeding on I. galbana at a concentr
