Abstract:Size-fractionated chitin contribution to seston, with linkages to the copepod Acartia The main purpose of the present work was to determine chitin from experimental size-fractioned incubations of the copepod Acartia tonsa, considered one of the primary sources of chitin in the Bahía Blanca Estuary. Sampling was performed during the austral warm season at one station in 2014 and 2015. Field-collected females (200 individuals) and males (100 individuals) were incubated in 8 L containers in the laboratory simulat… Show more
