Size and carbon content of the study organisms. Cell length and width (µm), cell volume (µm3), and carbon content (pg C cell−1) for Pseudo-nitzschia obtusa and P. seriata. Length promosome (mm) and carbon weight of the copepodites, n is the number of cells/individuals measured and values are given in mean ± SD.
