Limitation of zooplankton Production: Beyond Stoichiometry

Here we will argue that the concept of stoichiometry, although powerful and useful, is not sufficient for understanding food-related limitation of zooplankton production. We will discuss the confusion created by some assumptions in stoichiometric arguments and how stoichiometric theory can benefit f...

Zusammenfassung:	Here we will argue that the concept of stoichiometry, although powerful and useful, is not sufficient for understanding food-related limitation of zooplankton production. We will discuss the confusion created by some assumptions in stoichiometric arguments and how stoichiometric theory can benefit from biochemical and physiological studies.
