Nondestructive quantification of phytoplankton gut content of brachyuran crab megalopae using in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence

This work describes a new method to quantify phytoplankton gut content of the crab Carcinus maenas megalopae, based on the non-destructive measurement of in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence emitted from ingested microalgae.
