Pulse feeding and growth of the Black Sea strain of dinof lagellates Oxyrrhis marina (Dujardin, 1841) (OXY–IBSS), equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) (23.5 ± 3.1 mm) have been studied under experimental conditions simulating phytoplankton blooms. Microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum (P, ESD 3.4 ±0.3 mm), Isochrysis galbana (I, ESD 3.7 ± 0.4 mm), Tetraselmis suecica (T, ESD 6.1 ± 0.9 mm), and Rhodomonas salina (R, 7.4 ± 0.7 µm) were used as food objects in a one-component and three-component susp
