Physiological energetics of mussel larvae
Food uptake of marine mussel larvae (Mytilus edulisL.) was estimated in relation to larval size, temperature (6, 12, 18°C) and food concentration (1, 2, 5 , 10, 20 and 40 Isochrysis galbana cells 1r1-I). Filtration rates were maximal at low food concentrations (between 1 and 5 cells 1r1-l). This was called 'filtration capacity' and expressed as a function of larval size. Ingestion rates reached...
متن کاملFactors affecting methylmercury biomagnification by a widespread aquatic invertebrate predator, the phantom midge larvae Chaoborus.
MeHg biomagnification by the phantom midge Chaoborus in relation to MeHg concentrations in their prey and its migratory behavior was investigated in two Canadian Precambrian Shield lakes. Three Chaoborus species with contrasted migratory behavior were collected in a fishless and a fish-inhabited lake. All species accumulated MeHg through their ontogenic development. In the lake inhabited by fis...
متن کاملVertical distribution of Baltic sprat larvae: changes in patterns of diel migration?
Ontogenetic and diurnal vertical migration patterns of Baltic sprat larvae were investigated for the periods 1989–1990 and 1998– 2002. Comparison of the results led to the hypothesis that the diel vertical migration behaviour of sprat larvae .10 mm has changed. In 1989 and 1990, sprat larvae migrated to the surface at night, whereas they stayed 30–50 m deep by day. From 1998 to 2002, sprat larv...
متن کاملExperiments on the influence of Chaoborus brasiliensis Theobald, 1901 (Diptera: Chaoboridae) on the diel vertical migration of microcrustaceans from Lake Monte Alegre, Brazil.
The aim of this work was to evaluate whether diel vertical migration of microcrustaceans from Lake Monte Alegre is related to invertebrate predators, namely larvae of Chaoborus brasiliensis. The hypothesis tested in the experiments was that the migratory behaviour of prey would depend on physical contact with Chaoborus brasiliensis larvae or with kairomones released by them. Two experiments wer...
متن کاملDiel vertical migration and spatial overlap between fish larvae and zooplankton in two tropical lakes, Brazil.
The effect of fish larvae on the diel vertical migration of the zooplankton community was investigated in two tropical lakes, Finado Raimundo and Pintado lakes, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. Nocturnal and diurnal samplings were conducted in the limnetic region of each lake for 10 consecutive months from April 2008 to January 2009. The zooplankton community presented a wide range of response...
