Protozoan microzooplankton

Reports on copepods and other crustaceans dominate available zooplankton grazing data on Phaeocystis spp. These data show a wide range of rates, even for similar predator-prey combinations. We therefore attempt to summarize available quantitative data in relation to some of the mechanisms proposed to control the feeding on Phaeocystis. The shortage of quantitative feeding studies on microzooplankton and Phaeocystis was pointed out already a decade ago (Weisse et al. 1994), and the number of such studies is still limited, especially for protozoan microzooplankton, whether using laboratory cultures (Table 3)... [Pg.153]

General trends in grazing by protozoan microzooplankton on Phaeocystis are difficult to assess since the number of quantitative investigations is limited (Tables 3 and 4). Very few studies have investigated... [Pg.161]
