This study assessed the impact of different start-feeding regimes on lumpfish ( Cyclopterus lumpus ) larvae until 35 days post-hatch. Diets included enriched Artemia nauplii, cryopreserved cirriped nauplii ( Semibalanus balanoides ), cultivated copepodites ( Acartia tonsa ), formulated feed, and combinations thereof. Enriched Artemia yielded the best outcomes—fast early growth, with the largest larvae, most normal ossification...

Kelp forests are dynamic coastal habitats that generate large amounts of carbon‐rich detritus. The fate of this detritus is largely unknown and considered a missing link in global carbon budgets. Kelp detritus can serve as food for benthic invertebrates and pelagic invertebrate larvae, but we know close to nothing about the role of kelp detritus as food for other zooplankton. We conducted feeding experiments to test if the hig...

The ubiquitous oceanic copepod Calanus finmarchicus is the major link between primary producers and important fish stocks in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. Despite over a century of research on growth and development of this key species, the effect of predation risk on these processes remains elusive. We tested how food level and chemical cues from a fish predator influence growth and development of C. finmarchicu...
