Gut Content Analyis of Zooplankton in the Indian Ocean, 2014-2015
No problems were encountered with the collection of these data. We studied the gut contents of four dominant copepod species (Calanoides acutus, Calanus propinquus, Calanus simillimus and Rhincalanus gigas) during the summer (2014-2015) along a latitudinal gradient (sampled every 5° between 40°S and...
