摘要
The chemical composition of marine zooplankton was studied though two seasonal cruises (August 1994and February 1995) in the Taiwan Strait. The carbon(C), nitrogen(N) and hydrogen(H) dry weight contents ofplanktonic copepods were in the range of 36. 24% -45. 63%,8 .50% -11. 37% and 4. 23%-6. 50% repectively.Data comparison among the three southern sea areas of China showed the same subtropical characteristics in the chemical composition of planktonic crustaceans. The seasonal changes of C and N contents and C/N ratio in the TaiwanStrait implied the different nutritional conditions in the open sea from those in the inner gulf.
