Abstract
Studied by curative and prophylactic tests on rats, the antirachitic potency of dried copepod material, obtained in coarse and medium mesh plankton nets by the Plymouth Marine Biological Station, was found to be considerable, allowance being made for its high P content. This portion of the zooplankton is probably an important source of vit. D in the food of the cod.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
