Effect of newly isolated high antioxidant diatom on the reproduction and stress tolerance of the marine copepod,
Acartia erythraea
under crowding stress
Abstract:This study evaluated the effect of antioxidants on a tropical coastal copepod, Acartia erythraea, under crowding stress by using the high‐antioxidant, diatom algal strain Thalassiosira weissflogii TRG10‐P105 (TW P105) as feed. This newly isolated diatom strain has higher antioxidants than the generic strain Thalassiosira weissflogii (generic TW), which is used as a common feed in copepod culture. Incubation experiments were carried out under various crowding levels (100, 250, 500 and 1000 ind/L). Acartia eryth… Show more
