- Abstract:
- The respiration (O2 consumption) and N-regeneration (as NH4+ and DFAA) rates in micro' and meso-zooplankton will be measured when fed phytoplankton prey of high and low N:C in limiting and non-limiting amounts. The rate of CN consumption and of zooplankton-CN population growth will also be determined. These data will provide key data for parameterising newly developed zooplankton models. The implications of these processes, and modelling thereof, will be determined within simple CN-based NPZ-type ecosystem models.
