Extract

Adult Pseudocalanus elongatus have been kept in the laboratory, and fed with a variety of algal grazing media. The survival under conditions of starvation has also been determined, and in this respect, the overwintering generation has been found to differ from other generations.

Isochrysis galbana, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Gymnodinium veneficum, G. vitiligo, Chlamydomonas sp. and C. coccoides have been found to be satisfactory foods for Pseudocalanus elongatus

Dicrateria inornata, Nitzschia gotlandica, Amphidinium sp., Chlorella stigmatophora and Dunaliella tertiolecta were found to be unsatisfactory foods for Pseudocalanus elongatus.
