Abstract. 1. Consumption, production and assimilation rates were determined for two age groups of Crypropygus antarcticus to give an estimate of energy utilization, and to investigate low temperature adaptation in its energy partitioning. 2. Feeding selectivity shown in laboratory preference tests w...
