Abstract

Newly hatched nauplii of Scottolana canadensis from 2 locales in Maine were larger than Maryland nauplii when females were reared under identical conditions (20°C and high food concentration, 2.5×105 algal cells ml-1). Under high food concentration, Maryland nauplii had faster growth rates (log10μm h-1) than Maine nauplii, but survivorship was similar. Growth rates were lower under low food concentration (0.5×105 cells ml-1), and were the same for all locales, whereas survivorship of the Maine nauplii through NV was higher than the Maryland nauplii. -from Authors
