The effect of essential fatty acids for the somatic growth in nauplii of Calanus finmarchicus
The growth of Calanus finmarchicus nauplii was studied through three spawning seasons (2007, 2009 and 2011) using flow-through tubes. Natural seston was collected every second day and added as food source using a peristaltic pump. A mixture of cultured microalgae supplied in surplus concentration wa...

The growth of Calanus finmarchicus nauplii was studied through three spawning seasons (2007, 2009 and 2011) using flow-through tubes.

No significant correlation between growth and food concentration measured as Chlorophyll a (Chla) or particulate organic carbon (POC) was detected, but the growth rate was significantly related to the content of EPA (20:5n-3) and DHA (22:6n-3) in the seston. The growth rate was overall higher for nauplii fed cultured microalgae compared to the nauplii fed natural seston.
