Four size classes of both sexes of laboratory-cultured Srreptocephalus proboscideus (post-metanauplii 4.7f0.4; juvenile virgins 8.7f0.7; adults I 13.8k0.9, and adults I1 22.07+ 1.1 mm) were fed five concentrations (20 to 320 m1-I) of Anuraeopsisflssa. or six concentrations (20 to 640 ml-I) in adults
The feeding habits of the filter-feeding fairy shrimp Streptocephalus proboscideus are documented experimentally by offering them ciliates, Volvox, rotifers, nematodes and small crustaceans as prey . Escape capabilities (e .g . swimming speed) rather than size or shape were found to determine these
