Partitioning of the food ration of marine ciliates between pico- and nanoplankton

Food size-range for 13 species of Tintinnina and 18 species of Oligotrichina were studied using electronic particle counting and in situ observation of food vacuole contents. Tintinnids consume nanoplankton in the size range 2-20 mu m. Oligotrichous naked ciliates consume particles in the size range...
