| Summary: | Numerous investigations have already been made on the biology of Calanus finmarchicus . The main body of data, however, has been derived from field observations, and while many and important conclusions have been drawn from such work, confirmation of some of them is required by direct experimental methods. Accurate studies on the feeding, metabolism, and breeding of Calanus can only be made on living animals in the laboratory. Some such investigations have already been made by Crawshay, Clarke, Fuller, Marshall, Nicholls and Orr, Harvey and others, but the results have sometimes been obscure owing to the difficulties encountered in keeping Calanus in really healthy condition. |
