Values used to calculate specific fecal pellet production (FPP). Prosome length (μm ind.−1) from the field data as mean ± SD with n = 90 and n = 3 for A. longiremis and E. americana, respectively, and average copepod weight (μg C ind.−1). Fecal pellet volume (105 μm3 FP−1) as mean ± SD with n = 12 and n = 8 for A. longiremis and E. americana, respectively, and average FP weight (10−3 μg FP−1). Mortality as mean ± SD of all experiment with the respective copepods (n = 4 for A. longiremis and n = 6 for E. americana).
