Feeding rates and carbon and nitrogen partitioning in Crown-of-Thorns seastar larvae (Acanthaster cf. solaris) during development

The aims of this study was to investigate the effects of food concentrations on the Filtration rate and Ingestion rate of Crown of Thorns larvae during different development stages. The study includes carbon and nitrogen data of larvae and their food to calculate carbon and nitrogen specific feeding rates and to investigate biochemical developmental changes in larvae. The two food concentrations were 1000 cells mL-1 and 3000 cells mL-1 of green algae, Dunaliella sp.This dataset consists of a data file from feeding experiments conducted during the 2019 and 2020 spawning season (Oct-Dec), including parameters:     Filtration rate (volume of water cleared of particles per larva per unit of time)     Ingestion rate (the number of phytoplankton cells ingested per larva per unit of time)     Carbon per larvae    Nitrogen per larvae    Chlorophyll ugL

本研究旨在探究食物浓度对不同发育阶段棘冠海星幼体（Crown of Thorns larvae）滤水率与摄食率的影响。本研究采集了幼体及其饵料的碳、氮含量数据，用于计算碳、氮特异性摄食率，并探究幼体的生化发育变化。本实验设置的两种饵料浓度分别为1000细胞·毫升⁻¹与3000细胞·毫升⁻¹的杜氏藻（Dunaliella sp.）。
本数据集包含2019年与2020年产卵季（10月-12月）开展的摄食实验数据文件，所涵盖的参数如下：
滤水率：单位时间内每尾幼体清除水体中颗粒物的水体体积
摄食率：单位时间内每尾幼体摄食的浮游植物细胞数量
幼体碳含量
幼体氮含量
叶绿素浓度（μg·L⁻¹）
