Lipid accumulation window hypothesis: Step 1 - These ÒfatÓ copepods are also the larger copepods
Optimal Food/Temperature Window
At warmer temperature (or
higher cumulative T) the copepods develop proportionally faster than they
grow, thus they are unable to accumulate as high a % of lipids.
The % of ingested food that
can be accumulated increases as the concentration of food increases (Hakanson
1984 L+O).
