Abstract:The nutritional value of different sized fractions of naturalplankton was investigated for the growth of Eodiaptomus japonicusBurckhardt by comparing the development of its naupliar andcopepodid stages fed on differentially fractionated planktonicassemblages of a eutrophic pond, at 20°C. Water filteredthrough a 0.8 µm Nuclepore filter, containing mainly smallcoccoid bacteria (0.45–0.6 µm in cell diameter),at a concentration of 82.7 µg C 1–1 could not supportthe development of E.japonicus. The 3 µm filtered water,containing bacteria and picoalgae. at a total concentrationof 259 µg C 1–1, supported development but not eggproduction. The 20 µm filtered water, containing bacteria,picoalgae and large algae, at a total concentration of 2600µg C 1–1, supported rapid development of the juvenilesand continuous egg production by the adults. The separated 3–20µm fraction, containing only large algae, could not supportthe development at concentrations of 131 and 196 µg C1–1. However, the same rapid development of the juvenilesand continuous egg production by adults occurred at all of thetested concentrations between 261 and 3920 µg C1–1of the large algae. The results suggest that E.japonicus favoursalgae larger than 3 µm during its complete lifespan, andthat the threshold food concentration for its development variesbetween 200 and 250 µg C 1–1.
