Laboratory methods in secondary production

Laboratory methods in secondary production The laboratory techniques for the measurement of secondary production with special reference to herbivore zooplankton are discussed. The hitherto known techniques for the estimation of food budget parameters, i.e., feeding, assimilation, respiration and productivity are critically considered. The recent developments and the application of radioisotope tracer methods to productivity studies of cladocerans form the major basis of discussion in this paper. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquatic Ecology Springer Journals

Abstract

The laboratory techniques for the measurement of secondary production with special reference to herbivore zooplankton are discussed. The hitherto known techniques for the estimation of food budget parameters, i.e., feeding, assimilation, respiration and productivity are critically considered. The recent developments and the application of radioisotope tracer methods to productivity studies of cladocerans form the major basis of discussion in this paper.
