Comparison of different stoichiometric methods for the estimation of proximate biochemical composition of crustacean zooplankton and some considerations on energy transfer to planktophagous fish

In a previous publication (Riccardi & Mangoni 1999) the proximate biochemical composition of some freshwater zooplankton species was estimated from C, H and N content by a calculation method developed by Gnaiger & Bitterlich (1984). The stoichiometric coefficients used by these autho...
