Effects of food quality on the functional ingestion response of the copepod Acartia tonsa were determined using 3 algal species 6 to 12 pm in diameter (dinoflagellate Amphidnium carten, coccol~thophorid Hymenomonas carterae, senescent and actively growing diatom Thalass~osira weissflogii), over a wide range of concentrations. The algal cells were characterized by their contents of carbon, nitrogen, prote~n, carbohydrate, lipid and chlorophyll a , and by dry weight. A. tonsa Ingestion rates Increased to an asymptote and were fit to the Ivlev model without a feeding threshold at low algal concentratlons. Maximum ingestion rates of algal cells were inversely proportional to their protein, nitrogen, and carbon content. Maximum lngeshon rates of protein and nitrogen increased w t h increasing cell content of these variables. In contrast, maximum ingestion rates of algal carbon were generally constant w t h increasing cellular carbon content. The effects of cellular carbohydrate, hpid, and chlorophyll a content on maximum ingeshon rates were variable. The rate at which the ingestion of phytoplankton cells approached the maximum ingestion rate increased w t h greater protein and nitrogen content. Our results suggest that cellular protein and nitrogen content (or factors related to them) are important in regulating A. tonsa ingestion rates.
