dc.description.abstract | Data from five Great Lakes studies of Mysis relicta populations were reanalyzed to calculate secondary production estimates using the size-frequency method. Production estimates (P) ranged from 0.25 to 3.2 g dry weight m −2 yr −1 . Average annual biomass {xxB} and mean annual density (xxD) were 0.11–1.11 g dry weight/ m 2 and 25–434 animals/ m 2 , respectively. P:{xxB} ratios varied only between 2.2 and 3.3. Maximum and minimum biomass values within a study varied by a factor of 519 for one study but by less than 17 for the others. Highest estimates of P, {xxB} and {xxD} were calculated for collections from a 50-m station in Lake Michigan despite the larger populations suspected to be present at greater depths sampled in the other studies. These conservative estimates provide a basis for scaling trophic interactions involving M. relicta and emphasize findings by previous workers that night-time sampling with vertical net hauls is the best available technique for quantitative studies of M. relicta populations in the Great Lakes. | en_US |
