I'm searching for conversion factors to estimate carbon biomass of cladocera group (Mesozooplankton) from its measured biovolumes. I found many articles about the length - weight relationships, but not volume to mass. If anyone knows the factor values or related articles, please suggest me. Thanks.
Try Phyllis website as it is a good database containing information on the composition of biomass and waste.

In determining the biomass of small aquatic organisms, we measured and considered individuals in different size groups of each species and then used
"Nomograms for determining the weight of aquatic organisms by size and form of body "
L.L.Chislenko, Publishing house: Science. - Leningrad, 1968. – 108 p.
The tables are for sea mezobenthos and plankton, but in size, top view and cross section, Cladocera biomass can be estimated also.
