微型浮游动物摄食生态学研究进展

Feeding ecology progress of microzooplankton

微食物网在海洋生态系统中的重要性日益引起重视。微型浮游动物是微食物网的重要组成部分,也是连接微食物网与meso级浮游动物的重要环节,其生物量和摄食生态学研究也不断深入。文章总结了近年来关于微型浮游动物丰度和生物量及摄食生态学方面的研究进展,主要包括微型浮游动物摄食的研究方法、上下行效应、影响其摄食的主要因子.

Microzooplankton has received increasing attentions as an important trophic link between the microbial loop and mesozooplankton. Therefore, this paper reviews the advances in the feeding ecology and the abundance and biomass of microzooplankton. It focuses on the methods with which the grazing pressure of microzooplankton on phytoplankton and primary production, the top-down and down-top effect caused by the herbivory of microzooplankton, and the main factors that influenced its herbivory. The study of feeding ecology of microzooplankton should go further.
