Dead or alive? Viability assessment of micro- and mesoplankton (2012, background): “Neutral Red has been successfully applied to copepods (e.g. Crippen and Perrier, 1974), and recently, its applicability to natural field assemblages of zooplankton has been further promoted (Elliott and Tang, 2009).”
Linkage between crustacean zooplankton and aquatic bacteria (2010, methodology): “Using these staining methods, it has been shown that up to 40% of the zooplankton (copepods and daphnids) can be dead in situ (Bickel et al. 2009, Elliott & Tang 2009).”
