Abstract

Using detailed data of live/dead compositions, stage durations and molting rates, we derived for the first time both predatory and non-predatory mortality rates of the three main copepod species, Paracalanus cf. indicus, Acartia tonsa and Calanus chilensis, within the Humboldt Current System (HCS),...
