TLDR
It is demonstrated that N. couchii is capable of filter-feeding and of capturing prey from the calyptopis phase onwards and the influence of diet on larval development is discussed: algal diets induce a slower growth rate than that achieved by feeding with Artemia salina nauplii alone, and increase the length of intermoult periods and of ontogenesis.
Abstract
1. Les larves de Nyctiphanes couchii (Bell) ont ete elevees au laboratoire, a partir des stades calyptopis II et III, en utilisant des regimes alimentaires animaux vegetaux et mixtes. 2. N. couchii se nourrit par predation et par filtration des la phase calyptopis. 3. L'etude a permis de recueillir des informations sur l'ontogenese des larves (developpement des appendices, formation des photophores, reduction du nombre d'epines du telson). 4. La vitesse de croissance peut atteindre 0,13 mm par jour, en moyenne, dans les lots nourris de nauplii d'Artemia salina. 5. La duree du stade calyptopis III est de 3,7 jours, en moyenne, et celle des stades furcilia est generalement comprise entre 3 et 4 jours, sous nos conditions d'elevage. La duree des stades tend a s'allonger lorsque les larves vieillissent. 6. Les regimes alimentaires a base d'algues permettent une croissance plus faibe que les nauplii d'A. salina et provoquent und allongement des intermues et de l'ontogenese. Un apport limite de nauplii d'A. salina produit des effects comparables.

Population dynamics and production of euphausiids. III. Meganyctiphanes norvegica and Nyctiphanes couchi in the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea

TL;DR: Seasonal changes in the abundance, size and occurrence of furciliae of Euphausia krohni, Nematoscelis megalops and Thysanoessa gregaria are described from samples taken at 10 m depth with the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) over a period of 2 yr in the North Atlantic Ocean.

TL;DR: Euphasiid crustaceans in the Gulf of California were examined from four bimonthly CalCOFI grid cruises during February through August of 1957.

Larval distribution and reproductive ecology of Thysanoessa macrura (Crustacea: Euphausiacea) in the Scotia Sea

R. R. Makarov
- 01 Dec 1979 - 
TL;DR: Ontogenetical deep-water migrations are, consequently, characteristic not only for E. superba, but also for other Antarctic euphausiids (in particular E. frigida, but possibly not for inshore E. crystallorophias) and, as correctly postulated by several other investigators, for all oceanic euphasiid species.

Production of the euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis in Storm Bay, south-eastern Tasmania

TL;DR: The euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis Sars is an important food item for a wide range of seabirds and commercially exploited fish in coastal waters of south-eastern Tasmania, particularly during the summer months when it swarms in dense aggregations.

Zooplankton Communities in the West African Upwelling Area

A. Thiriot
TL;DR: The interest in zooplankton populations in upwelling areas is not very new, but it has been increasing during the last ten years as discussed by the authors, and the development of pelagic and demersal fisheries in these areas is one of the prime reasons for this interest, because it is essential to know the possibilities and limits for exploitation of different populations of commercial interest.

Feeding, growth, respiration, and carbon utilization of a euphausiid crustacean.

TL;DR: In the euphausiid shrimp EUphausia pacifica, a member of the oceanic plankton, growth was as rapid as 0.048 mm/day in juveniles in the laboratory, more than twice as fast as that observed for oceanic populations by other workers.

Effects of temperature and size on molting of euphausiid crustaceans

TL;DR: Both temperature and body size apparently act together to adjust the length of the intermolt period of each individual in increments of whole days, but they exert little control over time of molting within any 24h period.

Food and habits of Meganyctiphanes norvegica

TL;DR: The association of Meganyctijihanes norvegica, Thysanoessa raschii, Euchceta norveGica, and Calanus finmarchicus in large numbers in Upper Loch Fyne would indicate that conditions there are specially favourable to all these species.
