| Abstract: | ![]()
Partitioning of the ingested energy in harpacticoid Tisbe carolinesis was investigated with 14C labelled diatom Cylindrotheca sp. (Strain N-1) as food source under laboratory conditions (salinity 30 ppt, 24 ± 1.5°C). Over a 24 hr period, egg sacs and fecal pellets produced per T. carolinesis were 0.64 and 1.19, respectively. Radioactivity measured in the body accounted for 49.1% of the ingested radioisotope, whilst 42.3% of the energy was channneled into reproduction. Respiration and excretion took up 4.9% of the energy and the rest, 3.7%, went into fecal pellets. |
