(Table 3) Dry mass, lipid, carbon and nitrogen content and fatty acid composition of Temora longicornis females from the field and during the experiment in 2008

T. longicornis females were sampled on 12 May 2005 and 5 May 2008 off the island of Helgoland. In 2008, approximately 300 healthy-looking T. longicornis females were incubated in groups of hundred in 2 l beakers for 4 days and fed with different algal species each day (see Treatment: food).
