      Protozooplankton (PZP) (here size range: 12–200 μm) are rarely sampled over a broad scale, especially in ecosystem monitoring programs, despite their trophodynamic importance as grazers in the microbial loop and as prey ...
    • Role of protozooplankton in the diet of North Sea autumn spawning herring (Clupea harengus) larvae 

      Bils, Franziska; Aberle-Malzahn, Nicole; Van Damme, Cindy J.G.; Peck, Myron A.; Moyano, Marta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The role of small prey (<200 µm) in larval marine fsh nutrition is largely understudied. Here, we explore the contribution of protozooplankton (PZP 20–200 µm) to larval fsh diets, compared to metazoan microzooplankton (MZP ...
