A Nikon model E400 epifluorescence microscope at 20X magnification, outfitted with a Nikon B-2A longpass filter cube (470EX/515LP, Nikon) and a custom bandpass filter cube (430EX/680EM, Omega Optical) was used. The longpass filter pair provided a brighter overall image than the bandpass filter pair and also fluoresced non-chlorophyll structures (e.g., the copepod exoskeleton fluoresces green with blue excitation). The bandpass filter cube showed fluorescence from only chlorophyll and phaeopigments. Photographs of the copepods were taken at each filter setting using a Canon® Digital model T3i single lens reflex (SLR) camera (ISO 6400, F 1/15) remotely controlled with the Canon Electro-Optical System (EOS) Utility software to produce clear images of the epifluorescence.

Images were processed with Photoshop CS6 (Adobe®). Total gut area was manually digitized using the lasso and measurement tools on the longpass-filtered images. The mean gut area of 12 individuals for each copepod species and stage was used for calculations. The threshold tool was used to select areas of the longpass-filter images containing pigment (gut pigment area) that exceeded baseline fluorescence. Signal intensity was not used in the calculation of the gut pigment index because pigment content and composition differed among phytoplankton taxa. Pixels of the bandpass-filtered images exceeding the threshold value were selected and their area estimated using the measurement tool. The gut-pigment area was then divided by the total gut area yielding a relative GPI for each copepod. The same procedure was used to process images of copepods sampled from the control bottles. Copepods with <5% GPI were assumed not to have fed, as the GPI values in those samples were within the range of indices estimated from the controls.

1d:Tae9,This project will investigate feeding by copepod nauplius larvae, the most abundant metazoans in the sea. It will answer three questions: 1) How does food selection by adults and nauplii differ when they are fed multiple prey species in the laboratory? 2) How does food selection by adults and nauplii differ when they are feeding on natural prey assemblages? and, 3) How do growth, development, and survival differ between copepodites and nauplii when their growth is food limited? Comparative experiments and field-based measurements will contrast the food consumed, and the effects of food limitation, between nauplii and later life stages. This contrast will include attributes of food such as size, taxon, and motility, and will include experiments with cultured prey offered singly or in a mixture, and natural prey, and apply genetic techniques to determine prey consumption by a predatory copepod. Copepods will be collected from the San Francisco Estuary, with four species selected for experiments to span taxonomic groups, sizes, salinity ranges, and general feeding behavior. A variety of techniques will be applied to account for the inevitable biases and limitations of each; all but one have previously been applied in our laboratories. These will include laboratory feeding experiments using cultured prey individually and in mixtures, and experiments using natural prey. Consumption of prey in experimental bottles will be measured as chlorophyll concentration and through particle counts by microscopy and flow cytometry. Radioactively labeled prey will be used in short incubations to determine feeding on particular prey types. Samples from the field will be examined for gut fluorescence. Separate experiments will determine how nauplii and copepodites survive and grow at different concentrations of food. Investigations of feeding by a predatory copepod (Tortanus dextrilobatus) will use molecular techniques to identify mitochondrial and nuclear DNA from diverse suspected prey species. Specific primers will be developed for common zooplankton species consumed by T. dextrilobatus in the laboratory. General primers and screening protocols developed here will be useful for identifying food web interactions in other estuarine communities. Copepod nauplii are important both in their diverse trophic roles in ocean foodwebs and in the population dynamics of copepods. Nauplii have a completely different feeding apparatus from later stages, and the first feeding stage can be very sensitive to starvation, making these life stages critical to population dynamics. Yet extant copepod population models treat nauplii as miniature adults. This work will provide valuable input to the growing efforts at modeling ocean ecosystems.

The raw data (pixel area of a copepod’s gut containing red pixels representing chlorophyll) were divided by a constant (the red pixel area or background fluorescence of a copepod with an empty gut). These numbers were then expressed as a percentage range (0-5, 6-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100).
