Podamo, J. (1974). Essai de bilan du transfer de l'azote dans le Bassin de Chasse d'Ostende : 2. Le rôle du zooplancton dans le cycle de l'azote. [Annual nitrogen transfer budget probe in the Sluice-dock of Ostend : 2. The role of zooplankton in the nitrogen cycle.]. Hydrobiol. Bull. 8(1/2): 67-75

1.The zooplankton of the Sluice-dock at Ostend consists essentially of calanoid copepods and larvae of benthic animals. 2. The greatest part of the biomass (95 %) consists of 4 species : Eurytemora affinis, Acartia bifilosa and larvae of Polydora ciliata and Crepidula fornicata. 3. All these species are herbivorous; the secondary production has been measured only of these four species; 4. All measurements were expressed as wet weights; the expression of the biomasses, production and excretion in terms of nitrogen, was calculated by means of correction factors found in the literature.
