On the Biology of Calanus finmarchicus . II. Seasonal Variations in the size of Calanus finmarchicus in the Clyde Sea-Area
The size of the cephalothorax in Stage IV, Stage V, and Stage VI Calanus has been measured during the year 1931–1932 at three stations in the Clyde Sea-Area. In general the size was greatest when the water temperature was low, and least when it was high, but besides this there was a series of increa...

The size of the cephalothorax in Stage IV, Stage V, and Stage VI Calanus has been measured during the year 1931–1932 at three stations in the Clyde Sea-Area. In general the size was greatest when the water temperature was low, and least when it was high, but besides this there was a series of increases and decreases in size which were apparently connected with the breeding periods. The Calanus produced at the beginning of a breeding period were large (at Station I) and those produced at the end were small (at Stations I and II). The greatest production of eggs usually occurred when the female Calanus were of small size. During the autumn of 1931 the Stage V Calanus from Station IV (upper Loch Fyne) were considerably larger than those from the rest of the area, but this distinction had been lost by the autumn of 1931. Stages IV and V Calanus taken in the top 30 m. were almost invariably smaller than those from deeper water. The Calanus show a very wide range of sizes, the range for Stage V overlapping those for both male and female. Possible causes of this are discussed. |
