Effects of temperature and phytoplankton community composition on subitaneous and resting egg production rates of Acartia omorii in Tokyo Bay

Abstract To clarify the effects of temperature and phytoplankton community composition on Acartia omorii (Copepoda: Calanoida) egg production, its abundance and egg production rates were investigated from 2016 to 2018 in Tokyo Bay, Japan. Abundance was high from March to May (> 3.0 × 104 individu...
