Control of productivity and population characteristics in aquatic communities. [Correlation between pigmentation degree of copepods and wave length-deepen heat variations in visible light-induced vertical migration]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6230780
Individuals of the copepod Diaptomus nevadensis that contain high concentrations of carotenoids survive significantly better in natural intensities of visible light than less pigmented copepods. Vertical migration and behavior in light of different wave lengths are related to the degree of pigmentation.
