Effect of diatom silica content on copepod grazing, growth and reproduction

Effect of diatom silica content on copepod grazing, growth and reproduction

Diatoms are often a major food source for zooplankton and contribute significantly to vertical POC flux through sinking of dead cells, aggregates and zooplankton fecal pellets. The silica content of diatoms varies among different species and within a species growing under different environmental con...
