Production, metabolism and production/biomass (P/B) ratio of Themisto japonica (Crustacea : Amphipoda) in Toyama Bay, southern Japan Sea

The production and metabolism of the amphipod Themisto japonica in Toyama Bay, southern Japan Sea, were estimated based on their biomass and population structure data collected from every 2-week samplings from 1 February 1990 through 30 January 1991 (363 days). Over the sampling period, the mean bio...
