Ecology of Temora turbinata

Main Ref.	Hwang, J.-S. and J.T. Turner, 1995
Remarks	Neritic, oceanic surface, epipelagic (Ref. 111077). Tropical to temperate waters. Generates a feeding current and filters suspended particles (Ref. 115365). Omnivorous but primarily opportunistic herbivores (Refs. 115366, 129013).
