Towards Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture: Lessons from Caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Fig 2
Total area occupied by the gut content in the whole digestive tract of Caprella equilibra and C. scaura.
‘Marina’ includes data of the field populations directly fixed after collection. Treatments represent the different feed provided in laboratory conditions: Artemia nauplii, Detritus, Phytoplankton, All feed provided together (All), and no feed provided (NF). The bars indicate the percentage of each item observed in the gut under the microscope (Crustacea, Phytoplankton and Detritus). The Crustacea are represented by copepods in specimens from the field populations of the marinas and Artemia in those maintained in laboratory conditions fed with Artemia.
