Planktonic marine copepods and harmful algae

摘要: Marine planktonic copepods are important grazers on harmful algae (HA) species of phytoplankton, and major entry points for vectorial intoxication pelagic food webs with HA toxins. Previous reviews (Turner Tester, 1997; Turner et al., 1998a; Turner, 2006) summarized information interactions zooplankton grazers, webs, up through approximately 2005. Accordingly, this review will address primarily studies published during the last decade. It concentrate generic issues in developing field HA:grazer interactions, such as extent to which toxins serve copepod grazing deterrents, induction deterrents by exposure copepods, selective feeding avoid ingesting taxa versus non-selective taxa, possible biogeographic aspects effects impact bloom development termination, role toxins, reasons remedies highly-variable conflicting results reported many various species.
