Determination of the rate and efficiency of nitrogen transfer from phytoplankton to zooplankton using nitrogen-15 as a tracer. Final report
Description:
The rate of assimilated nitrogen transfer from phytoplankton to zooplankton was measured under field conditions for natural mixed zooplankton populations using a nitrogen-15 tracer technique. The variability in rates, which ranged from 0.261 to 1.792 gram-atoms of phytoplankton nitrogen/gram-atoms of zooplankton nitrogen/24 hours, are thought to reflect a variability in the age frequency distribution of the zooplankton population. The data were used to calculate assimilation efficiencies which …
