Effects of diet (Experiment 1) on A. californica larvae fed a diet of Chaetoceros muelleri (CHGRA) in combination with selected flagellates. Results represent the mean ± 1 standard deviation; a one-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s post hoc test was used to determine statistical significance (different letters indicate significant differences at p<0.05).

CHGRA:Flagellate	Growth rate (μm/day)	Days to 80% competency	Percent larval survival at 80% competency
CHGRA:TISO	14.2 ± 0.6^a	28.8 ± 3.5^a	75.3 ± 11.8^a
CHGRA:DUN	11.8 ± 1.1^a,b	37.5 ± 4.0^a	62.3 ± 10.9^a
CHGRA:MONO	9.3 ± 1.9^b	39.75 ± 7.6^a	60.1 ± 9.6^a
CHGRA:MICRO	11.5 ± 2.1^a,b	32.7 ± 7.6^a	50.1 ± 34^a
CHGRA:3C	5.5 ±0.5^c	^*	0.0 ± 0.0^b
CHGRA:TETRA	4.8 ± 0.4^c	^*	0.0 ± 0.0^b

indicates that 80% of larvae in treatment failed to reach competency within 50 days.
