Grazing, zooplankton, filtration rateAbstract
In January, April and June of 2003, through the balance method time series for grazing, ingestion, and filtration rates of Acartia clausi were generated in a sampling station in the Bay of La Paz, Mexico. Changes in the sea surface temperature and concentration of chlorophyll a were also determined. Day to day filtration rates had significant changes in April (p<0.05), but not in January and June. The grazing and ingestion rates showed significant day to day changes during January, April and June. Monthly comparison showed that January and April rates were significantly different from the June rates. No correlation between daily grazing rate and sea surface temperature was found, and the relationship between chlorophyll a concentration and sea temperature was negative and significant. Potential impact of grazing on chlorophyll a production was higher in January compared to other months suggesting seasonal effect in the
abundance of A. clausi due to chlorophyll a production.
