    Description: Temora longicornis, a dominant calanoid copepod species in the North Sea, is characterised by low lipid reserves and high biomass turnover rates. To survive and reproduce successfully, this species needs continuous food supply and thus requires a highly flexible digestive system to exploit various food sources. Information on the capacity of digestive enzymes is scarce and therefore the aim of our study was to investigate the enzymatic capability to respond to quickly changing nutritional conditions. We conducted two feeding experiments with female T. longicornis from the southern North Sea off Helgoland. In the first experiment in 2005, we tested how digestive enzyme activities and enzyme patterns as revealed by substrate SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) responded to changes in food composition. Females were incubated for three days fed ad libitum with either the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina or the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, copepods were deep-frozen for analyses. The lipolytic enzyme activity did not change over the course of the experiment but the enzyme patterns did, indicating a distinct diet-induced response. In a second experiment in 2008, we therefore focused on the enzyme patterns, testing how fast changes occur and whether feeding on the same algal species leads to similar patterns. In this experiment, we kept the females for 4 days at surplus food while changing the algal food species daily. At day 1, copepods were offered O. marina. On day 2, females received the cryptophycean Rhodomonas baltica followed by T. weissflogii on day 3. On day 4 copepods were again fed with O. marina. Each day, copepods were frozen for analysis by means of substrate SDS-PAGE. This showed that within 24 h new digestive enzymes appeared on the electrophoresis gels while others disappeared with the introduction of a new food species, and that the patterns were similar on day 1 and 4, when females were fed with O. marina. In addition, we monitored the fatty acid compositions of the copepods, and this indicated that specific algal fatty acids were quickly incorporated. With such short time lags between substrate availability and enzyme response, T. longicornis can successfully exploit short-term food sources and is thus well adapted to changes in food availability, as they often occur in its natural environment due seasonal variations in phyto- and microzooplankton distribution.

    Fatty acid and stable isotope composition of zooplankton, fishes and sea birds from the northern Humboldt Current System during Maria S. Merian cruise MSM80 (2022)

    Description: A combined stable isotope and fatty acid trophic biomarker approach was adopted for key zooplankton taxa and higher trophic positions of the northern Humboldt Current System to elucidate the pelagic food-web structure and to better understand trophic interactions. Samples covered an extensive spatial range from 8.5°S to 16°S and a vertical range down to 1,000 m depth. Immediately after each haul, specimens were sorted alive in the lab and apparently live and healthy individuals were stored in vials and deep-frozen at -80°C until further lipid and stable isotope analyses. The comprehensive data set covered over 20 zooplankton taxa and indicated that three biomass-rich crustacean species usually dominated the zooplankton community, i.e., the copepods Calanus chilensis at the surface and Eucalanus inermis in the pronounced oxygen minimum zone and the krill Euphausia mucronata, resulting in an overall low number of major trophic pathways toward anchovies. In addition, the semi-pelagic squat lobster Pleuroncodes monodon appears to play a key role in the benthic-pelagic coupling. By partly feeding on benthic resources and by diel vertical migration, P. monodon provides a unique pathway for returning carbon and energy from the sea floor to the epipelagic layer, increasing the food supply for pelagic fish.

    Respiration rates and electron transport system activities of copepod species obtained during Maria S. Merian cruise MSM17/3 (2013)

    Description: Respiration rates and electron transport system (ETS) activities were measured in dominant copepod species from the northern Benguela upwelling system in January-February 2011 to assess the accuracy of the ETS assay in predicting in vivo respiration rates. Individual respiration rates varied from 0.06 to 1.60 µL O2/h/ind, while ETS activities converted to oxygen consumption ranged from 0.14 to 4.46 µL O2/h/ind. ETS activities were significantly correlated with respiration rates (r**2 = 0.79, p = 0.0001). R:ETS ratios were lowest in slow-moving Eucalanidae (0.11) and highest in diapausing Calanoides carinatus copepodids CV (0.76) while fast-moving copepods showed intermediate R:ETS (0.23-0.37). 82% of the variance of respiration rates could be explained by differences in dry mass, temperature and the activity level of different copepod species. Three regression equations were derived to calculate respiration rates for diapausing, slow- and fast-moving copepods, respectively, based on parameters such as body mass and temperature. Thus, knowledge about the activity level and behavioral characteristics of copepod species can significantly increase the predictive accuracy of metabolic models, which will help to better understand and quantify the impact of copepods on nutrient and carbon fluxes in marine ecosystems.

    Respiration rates and abundances of dominant copepods of the northern Benguela Current System (2013)

    Description: Respiration rates of 16 calanoid copepod species from the northern Benguela upwelling system were measured on board RRS Discovery in September/October 2010 to determine their energy requirements and assess their significance in the carbon cycle. Individual respiration rates were standardised to a mean copepod body mass and a temperature regime typical of the northern Benguela Current. These adjusted respiration rates revealed two different activity levels (active and resting) in copepodids C5 of Calanoides carinatus and females of Rhincalanus nasutus, which reduced their metabolism during dormancy by 82% and 62%, respectively. An allometric function (Imax) and an energy budget approach were performed to calculate ingestion rates. Imax generally overestimated the ingestion rates derived from the energy budget approach by 〉75%. We suggest that the energy budget approach is the more reliable approximation with a total calanoid copepod (mainly females) consumption of 78 mg C m-2 d-1 in neritic regions and 21 mg C m-2 d-1 in oceanic regions. The two primarily herbivorous copepods C. carinatus (neritic) and Nannocalanus minor (oceanic) contributed 83% and 5%, respectively, to total consumption by calanoid copepods. Locally, C. carinatus can remove up to 90% of the diatom biomass daily. In contrast, the maximum daily removal of dinoflagellate biomass by N. minor was 9%. These estimates imply that C. carinatus is an important primary consumers in the neritic province of the northern Benguela system, while N. minor has little grazing impact on phytoplankton populations further offshore. Data on energy requirements and total consumption rates of dominant calanoid copepods of this study are essential for the development of realistic carbon budgets and food-web models for the northern Benguela upwelling system.

    Description: Males of the four crab species Percnon affine (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), Grapsus albolineatus (Latreille in Milbert, 1812), Orisarma intermedium (Schubart &Ng, 2020), and Geothelphusa albogilva (Shy, Ng & Yu, 1994), were collected in the southern part of Taiwan in May 2007. Individuals were starved for 12 days and midgut glands were dissected before and after the starvation period. Midgut glands were lyophilized and total lipids were extracted with dichloromethane:methanol (2:1 per volume) and an aqueous solution of 0.88% KCl. Extracted lipid mass was determined gravimetrically. Lipid classes were separated and quantified using Thin-Layer Chromatography with an integrated flame ionization detector (MK-5 TLC/FID analyzer, Iatron Laboratories). Lipids were converted to fatty acids methyl esters (FAME) by applying methanol containing 3% concentrated sulfuric acid. FAMEs were quantified by gas chromatography equipped with a DB-FFAP column, a programmable temperature vaporizer injector, and a flame ionization detector. Helium was used as carrier gas. Fatty acids were identified by retention times and by using fish oil standard (Marinol). Data are supplement to: Stumpp et al (2021) Dietary preferences of brachyuran crabs from Taiwan for marine or terrestrial food sources: evidence based on fatty acid trophic markers accepted for publication in Frontiers in Zoology

    Copepod community ingestion, respiration and length-dry mass relationships in the southern Benguela upwelling system during METEOR cruise M153 (2022)

    Description: Small copepod genera play an important role in marine food webs and biogeochemical fluxes but have been neglected in many studies. Abundance, biomass and carbon consumption rates of small- (〈1 mm prosome length (PL)), medium- (1-1.5 mm PL) and large-sized (〉2 mm PL) copepods along a cross-shelf transect in the southern Benguela upwelling system were determined using rather high taxonomic resolution. Zooplankton samples were collected with a Multinet (Hydrobios Multinet midi, 5 nets with 200 µm meshsize) during the Meteor cruise M153 in February/March 2019. Calanoids contributed on average 55 ± 19% to total copepod abundance and 82 ± 13% to total copepod biomass. Small-sized Oithona spp. (119/114 mg C m-2 d-1) and Clauso-/Paracalanidae (87/263 mg C m-2 d-1) as well as large-sized Calanoides natalis (47/193 mg C m-2 d-1) were the dominant consumers at the most inshore stations. Small and medium-sized copepodite stages of Metridia lucens were also important, especially towards the continental slope. At offshore stations, Para-/Clausocalanidae (17-27 mg C m-2 d-1), Oithona spp. (9-16 mg C m-2 d-1), Pleuromamma spp. (0-16 mg C m-2 d-1), Calanus agulhensis (0-15 mg C m-2 d-1), Acartia spp. (0-12 mg C m-2 d-1), C. natalis (0-10 mg C m-2 d-1) and M. lucens (2-6 mg C m-2 d-1) were dominant consumers. Hence, usually small- and medium-sized copepods dominated total copepod ingestion, emphasizing that inadequate representation of small copepods will lead to significant underestimations and misinterpretations of the functioning of zooplankton communities, and finally to inadequate biogeochemical models.
