Summary
The grazing of subadult stages of Acartia tonsa and A. clausi and Eurytemora affinis on natural particle distributions was investigated using animals from wild populations sorted into stages. Filtering rates and particle selection are compared for various stages from late nauplius through adult, using copepods and particles from the middle of Chesapeake Bay. Filtering rates increased continuously during development in Eurytemora but results were more variable with Acartia. Experiments on particle selection yielded results which in some cases conformed to the null hypothesis of no particle selection and in some cases indicated higher filtering rates and particle selection at or near the control biomass peak. Tables and graphs are presented to show results. (HLW)
