Discussion
- The data included in this entry are all taken in Black sea water with a salinity around 18, much lower than the typical 33 of sea water- it is an open question whether or not this affects physiological performance
- Chemical pars are assumped to relate to ash-free dry mass; MaleFaga1993 report ash free dry mass over dry mass ratio of 0.263 - 0.297 with mean 0.279, which makes del_W = 3.5842
- Weights for tWC are set to zero because of uncertainty in the units and inconsistency with tWw
Facts
- Hermaphrodite (Ref: Wiki)
- Invasive species in the black sea and used to control invasive populations of Mnemiopsis leidyi. Lots of work done to see if _Beroe ovata_ should be released into the Caspian. (Ref: doris)
