In this work, the ostracod Heterocypris incongruens (Ramdohr, 1808) was
used to analyse three of its behavioural activities (feeding, swimming
and resting) and its food preference. The majority of the individuals
spent their time swimming. However, towards the end of the experiment,
the number of individuals found feeding increased. The overall time
spent feeding throughout the experiment was significantly longer than
the time spent swimming and resting. Spinach was the most frequently
used food, followed by mosquito larvae, Cyclops (plankton mix) and
Spirulina mix. The retention time spent in the compartment containing
spinach was also significantly longer than the time spent on all other
items.
