Abstract:

This study, included the feeding of (Paracalanus parvus (Claus, 1863) of crustacean zooplankton (Calanoida), by studying the structure of the Mandible and the intestinal content of this previous species to determine Their favorite food. 36 samples have been collected vertically in period between March and May 2020. The samples were also accompanied with different hydrophysical and hydrochemical measurements in three regions that differ from each other with their environmental properties. The number of members of (P.parvus) that were studied reached (32) individuals, of which (19) are female and (13) are male.On the other hand, determining the shape of the Mandible, studying its structure and knowing the intestinal content of the previous species helped to improve and know the feeding conditions and strategies of its the influence of different environmental factors.
