Grazing by other mesozooplankton as well as by nauplii is also estimated using temperature-compensated conversion factors, derived from the literature and size measurements to estimate carbon weight (mg C ind -1 ), respiration rate ( &#109; 1 O 2 ind -1 h -1 ), and metabolic requirements ( &#109; g C ind -1 d -1 ) for each animal and then some the abundances at each site to determine the metabolic requirements of the relevant planktonic community (mg C m -3 d -1 ).
