AB: Abstract
    We studied the growth, feeding, and elemental composition of Mysis
    mixta from June to September 1997 in the northern Baltic Sea. In
    June the juvenile population had a unimodal size distribution
    (mean length similar to 6 mm), but in July-August, the population
    was divided into two cohorts. A stomach content analysis showed
    that the mysids in the larger and faster growing cohort fed
    significantly more on crustacean zooplankton and pelagic material
    than the smaller one: the mean ratios of zooplankton:phytoplankton
    and pelagic:benthic particles in July-August were respectively
    0.27 and 0.11 for the small cohort, and 0.54 and 0.36 for the
    large cohort. This suggests that food quality and its energy
    content are important in influencing the growth of pelagic mysids
    in the northern Baltic. The C:N ratio of the two cohorts did not
    vary much, which shows that ingestion of food items with varying
    elemental content is not necessarily reflected in the elemental
    composition of consumers.
