摘要

Abstract

The effects of salinity on the copepod

Acartia tonsa in terms of daily egg production rate (EPR)

hatching success

fecal pellet production rate (FPR)

naupliar development time and survival

sex ratio

and total life span were determined in laboratory conditions through three experiments. In experiment 1

EPR

hatching success

and FPR of individual females were monitored at salinities of 13

35 and 45 during short-periods (seven consecutive days). Results show EPR was affected by salinity with the highest outputs recorded at 20 and 35

respectively

which were considerably higher than those at 13 and 45. Mean FPR was also higher in 35 and 20. In experiment 2

the same parameters were evaluated over total life span of females (long-term study). The best EPR and FPR were observed in 35

which was statistically higher than at 13 and 20. In experiment 3

survival rates of early nauplii until adult stage were lowest at a salinity of 13. The development time increased with increasing of salinity. Female percentage clearly decreased with increasing salinity. Higher female percentages (56.7% and 52.2%

respectively) were significantly observed at two salinities of 13 and 20 compared to that at 35 (25%). Total longevity of females was not affected by salinity increment. Based on our results

for mass culture we recommend that a salinity of 35 be adopted due to higher reproductive performances

better feeding

and faster development of A. tonsa.
