Title: | Relationship between respiration and Electron Transfer System (ETS) in zooplankton | Authors: | López López, Amelia Iguanira | Director: | Hernández-León, Santiago | UNESCO Clasification: | 2510 Oceanografía | Keywords: | Zooplancton Respiración |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Abstract: | Respiration of zooplanktonic organisms is an significant fraction of the global carbon cycle. However, it estimation in order to obtain the data required in oceanography is still a problem. In this work, we studied respiration rates in laboratory and field experiments. Laboratory experiments using Daphnia spp. showed a significant decrease of respiration rates during starvation. In addition, we measured the gut fluorescence and enzymatic activity (electron transfer system, ETS). The former did not show the expected decrease probably due to the volume of the incubators. The relationship between respiration and ETS presented the classical variability ranging between 0.5 and 1 as observed in previous works. Copepod respiration rates were measured during RAPROCAN 1504 cruise around the Canary Islands. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/16841 | Rights: | by-nc-nd |
