Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between lorica volume, carbon, nitrogen, and ATP content of tintinnids in Narragansett Bay
TL;DR: It is concluded that ATP is a useful indicator of living phytoplankton carbon in pre-screened, smallvolume samples during periods of moderate to high phy Topolankton biomass, but that protozoan microzooplankton interference is significant when phy toplankon standing stocks are low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grazing, respiration, excretion, and growth rates of tintinnids1
TL;DR: Over a range of temperatures, respiration and excretion were linearly related and exhibited significant linear relationships with ingestion and curvilinear relationships with growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food limitation of production by adult Acartia tonsa in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island1
TL;DR: The overall mean egg production rate, dry weight, and cephalothorax length of the copepod after incubation for 48 h in the algae-enriched water were significantly greater than for copepods incubated in ambient bay water, indicating that theCopepods must have been continuously food limited in Narragansett Bay during summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relative food value of diatoms, dinoflagellates, flagellates, and cyanobacteria for tintinnid ciliates
TL;DR: Both tintinnids grew rapidly on diatoms with threads reduced by culture on a shaker table: growth rates were inversely related to diatom cross-sectional diameter (= cell + threads).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature, irradiance, and daylength on the marine diatom Leptocylindrus danicus Cleve, IV. Growth
TL;DR: Growth and dark respiration rates of the marine diatom Leptocylindrus danicus Cleve were measured in axenic batch culture under 49 combinations of temperature, daylength, irradiance, and irradiance to support the concept that growth rate is dependent onDark respiration rate and photosynthesis and excretion showed temperature-dependent curvilinear relationships with growth rate.
