Description
Summary:A combination of shipboard and laboratory experimentation and mesocosm rearing is used in an integrated study of feeding, growth, and reproduction of Calanus finmarchicus . Comparisons are made where possible with the co-occurring Calanus helgolandicus . Regional and seasonal variability of feeding and reproduction was investigated for C. finmarchicus in the open Norwegian Sea and for C. helgolandicus at a coastal station in the English Channel. Mesocosm experiments, carried out in western and northern Norway to identify environmental cues governing the life-cycle pattern, are compared with the results of laboratory studies of nutrition, growth, and reproduction under controlled conditions. The results are discussed in relation to physiological and life-cycle models of Calanus .
