✦ Synopsis
Changes in carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen contents of Nebalia bipes were studied under different artificial feeding conditions. Using a multifactor ANOVA, highly significant variations were observed according to diet. C: N ratio, which was 4.99 f 0.31 in control animals, exhibited extreme values of 3.96 f 0.09 and 5.52 f 0.49. From a trophic point of view, the results demonstrate the large possibilities of N . bipes to exploit very different resources. The variability of its elementary chemical composition expressed in C : N ratio is compared to other generalist species.
