Developmental experiments
On average, 84% of nauplii were found and examined for molting. There were no significant differences in percent change to copepodites between treatments in either experiment 1 or 2 over the first 24 h period (Fig. 2a–d). There was a significant difference in developmental success among diet treatments in experiment 1 after 48 h of incubation (P < 0.05); nauplii fed I. galbana alone had a higher percentage change to copepodite than those where the diet consisted of 50:50 Aa:ISO (Tukey’s one-way multiple comparison; Fig. 2a). Naupliar percent change to copepodite in the 100% I. galbana and 20:80 Aa:ISO diets were significantly different from the treatment containing 80:20 Aa:ISO (P < 0.01; Tukey’s one-way multiple comparison; Fig. 2c). There were no significant results in experiment 2, which was only conducted for 24 h (Fig. 2d).
