The Biochemical Composition and Energy Content of Arctic Marine Macrozooplankton
Protein, lipid, carbohydrate, water, ash and caloric energy contents during the open water season of 14 species of macrozooplankton and four epibenthic amphipods common to the inshore waters of southern Baffin Island are compared. . The highest energy content occurred in euphausiids and hyperiid amp...
