Abstract

Zooplankton provide a vital source of nutrition to a variety of fish and marine predators. Measuring the total lipid content of zooplankton provides important information about diet quality available to predators, revealing details about trophic dynamics and ecosystem status. We analyze the performance of a microplate assay, utilizing the sulfo-phospho-vanillin (SPV) reaction, to quantify the total lipid content of various large crustacean zooplankton in a rapid and high throughput manner. Pilot experiments were performed by measuring the total lipid content of purchased freeze-dried zooplankton (
