1. The ingestion rates of planktonic, mixotrophic cryptophytes in two perennially ice‐covered Antarctic lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, were investigated during the summer of 1997–1998. 2. In Lake Fryxell, which is meromictic, ingestion rates increased with depth in November and were highest in a...
