The effects of phytoplankton concentration, size and water temperature on the feeding rate of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Black Sea were investigated in the laboratory within a static system. Overall consumption (total cell/h) was significantly higher at the highest phytoplankton concentrations than at the lowest concentration (p

This study was carried out to determine the effect of temperature on the development, sexual maturation time, food consumption and body weight of S. gregaria, Forsk., at 25 and 30ºC. The insects were fed on fresh wheat sprouts (FWS) and bran (B). When the temperature was increased, both developmental time and attainment time to sexual maturation were shortened. Total nymphal developmental time at 25 and 30ºC was 32 and 22 days, respectively. Similarly, the average attainment time to sexual maturity was 33 days at 30ºC, whereas it was 52 days at 25ºC. The food consumption of the insects increased at …
