Abstract
The influence of the type of diet, concentration, and sex on the ingestion rate of the harpacticoid copepod Euterpina acutifrons was examined in controlled laboratory experiments. Four dietary treatments were investigated in 1:1proportion: Isochrysis galbana, L galbana and Tetraselmis suecica, I.galbana and Dunaliella sp., and L galbana and baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Furthermore, six different cell concentrations were tested for each combination: 500, 700, 1,000, 1,500, 10,000 and 20,000 cell mr 1. All experiments were carried out under the photoperiod of 12h:12h (light:dark cycle), with salinity at 32±1 psu and at 28±2 °C for 24 hours. The results showed no difference in the ingestion rates among different diets or between male and female E. acutifrons (P>0.05). This indicates that mature E. acutifrons can feed on a variety of foods. However, different cell concentrations significantly influenced the ingestion rate of E. acutifrons (P<0.05). The highest ingestion rate (15,563 cells E. acutifrons- 1 day-1) for E. acutifrons was observed when a combination of I.galbana and Dunaliella sp. at 20,000 cells m1-1was provided. Further studies are needed to obtain the maximum ingestion rate for E. acutifrons.
