- Abstract:
- The proposed work is a combination of 2 projects: i) An examination of the role of food quality - C, N, fatty acids - in influencing egg production of Calanus finmarchicus, using ship-board experiments in which copepods are fed in situ food. Experiments will be undertaken on Marine Productivity cruises in spring and autumn of 2002 and 2003. The work is proposed as a tied PhD studentship. ii) Complementary ship-board experiments in which copepods are fed labelled tracers in food to examine the extent to which Calanus can synthesise de novo so-called 'essential' fatty acids. Analysis of results will be underpinned by the quantitative stoichiometric theory proposed by Anderson and Pond (2000: Limnol. Oceanogr. 45: 1162 - 1167).
