Scanning electron micrographs of mandibular gnathobases female (from Helgoland, North Sea): a, overview of a whole gnathobase (V = ventral tooth; C1 = central tooth); c, overview of the ventral part of the distal gnathobase structures (arrow indicates area with a large number of scratches).
Scale bars: 0.020 mm (a); 0.005 mm (c).

After the authors, the two larger teeth at the ventral side of the gnathobase seem to be very suitable for grabbing larger food items such a large centric diatoms and for exerting punctiform pressure when crushing and mincing their frustules. This assumption is supported by the frequent presence of numerous scratches at the diastema, which mainly consists of chitinous material. The inclusion of silica in the tips of these larger teeth very likely enhances their hardness and stiffness. When the copepods feed on nanoflagellates and chlorophytes, the smaller gnathobase teeth likely are more suitable for grabbing the food particles than the larger ones. The compliant resilin in the tips of these teeth may increase the grip of the teeth due to the formation, of a larger contact area at the same applied load. The cotact area and with it the grip of the smaller teeth is probably further increased by the presence of two relatively small tips.
The present study reveals the existence of complex composite structures likely increase the efficiency of the opal teeth while simultaneously reducing the risk of mechanical damage. They are supposed to have coevolved with rthe diatom shells in the evolutionary arms race, and their development might have been the basis for the dominance of the copepods today's marine zooplankton.

Average surface temperatures at the stations in and outside Delaware Bay (NW Atlantic) from 1931 through November 1932.
The surface temperature range in the Bay varied from less than 2°C in the winter to 24° or 25°C in the summer, and more extreme than that outside the Bay, where temperatures ranged from over 2°C to approximately 22°C, but the cycles varied considerably from year to year (see p.10, figure 2). Salinity outside the Bay varied from a minimum of 30 p.1000 to a maximum of 32.88 p.1000. In the Bay it ranged from 22.8 - 32.25 p.1000. Thus the salinity was over 30 p.1000 at the stations outside the Bay while the range at the mouth of the Bay anda t the stations inside was such as to exlude ordinarily from the Bay some of the neritic species common in the outside waters.

Depth-frequency diagrams and trap results of Centropages hamatus females and males during the 24-h study.
Incident radiation recorded on deck is indicated in the upper panel; arrows indicate sunset and sunrise. The actual number of individuals moving up or down into the traps at 8, 14, 21 and 28 m is indicated next to each arrow.
Trap deployment and retrieval time was set to coincide with the middle of adjacent horizontal, net-tow series.
The 25 and 75 % population quartiles are connected by broken lines and the population median is indicated by a black dot.
The number located inside each depth-frequency diagram (scale lower right) is the estimated number of individuals/ m3 in the water column during this series of horizontal net tows.

Surface salinity of the investigation area varies around 25 p.1000 and the deep water slinity around 34 p.1000. There is a temperature stratification with surface water warmer than 10°C from May to October with maximum of 20°C in August.

Centropages hamatus. Predation (ingestion) rates of adults (males and females combined) feeding upon copepod nauplii (number of nauplii ingested by copepod and by day) over a range of natural concentrations. Means of 14 to 19 replicates; error bars: ± standard error.

Nota: Experimental animals collected in the Westport River estuary (Massachusetts).

Nota: C. hamatus ingested more phytoplankton than animal material and consumed an average of 209 % more carbon when feeding upon natural concentration of phytoplankton (mean = 2.05 µgC per copepod and per day than when carnivorously (mean = 0.98 µgC per copepod and by day). This indicates that the species is less predaceous, when feeding on natural prey items, than when feeding on artificial prey items such as Artemia nauplii considerably larger, more sluggish, and therefore easier to capture, than Acartia spp. nauplii. Animal prey also appears unnecessary for growth and reproduction of C. hamatus, since this species has been successfully reared in the laboratory on phytoplankton cultures (see Klein Breteler, 1980).
Compare with the same experimental method in Labidocera aestiva.

Relative percentages, by count, of the species Centropages typicus compared with Centropages hamatus at the stations in Delaware Bay (39° N, 75°25' W), from January 1930 through December 1932.

Nota: C. hamatus is a relatively euryhaline boreal and temperate species which occurs primarily in sheltered or inshore waters. On the eastern American coast its range extends from Straits of Belle Isle to the Gulf of Mexico.
A similar period of occurrence for Alligator Harbor (Florida) (Grice, 1956), where the species was found from November to April over a temperature range of 9.0°-22.3°C. For Delaware Bay the range noted was -0.65 to 23.9°C.
C. hamatus was much more abundant in the surface waters of Delaware Bay than it was outside.

Effect of motivation on the relationship between encounter rate (encounters per 1000 video frames) and the percentage of time spent slow swimming for the low food concentration treatment .
The axes of this figure are analogous to food concentration (x axis) typical of functional response curves.
Open circle: Proturbulence; black circle: turbulence; triangle: posturbulence.

Nota (p.1648, 1652): These observations do not support the ''automatic'' response to food concentration as implied in the functional response paradigm (see in Gerritsen & Strickler, 1977). Zooplankton populations will respond to prey concentration in a species-specific pattern depending on temporal and spatial prey distributions, the intensity spectrum of turbulent eddies, and feeding history.
The hypothesis that small-scale turbulence in aquatic systems (see Royhschild & Osborn, 1988) increases the perceived abubdance of prey to predators is tested by exposing centropages hamatus, from Buzzards Bay, Maine, to turbulent and nonturbulent environments at different prey concentrations.
The results fell into two main categories: 1st, the response to turbulence was characterized by an initial period having a high number of escape reactions. This period was followed by one of increased foraging. The species responded to the higher encounter rates due to turbulence as if it were experiencing altered prey concentrations. 2d, the termination of turbulence resulted in an increased foraging response, which was not directly related to the encounter rate.
Functional response curves do not adequately explain this foraging response because the time course of the foraging response depends on prior encounter experience and foraging motivation.

In the Gulf of Marseille NW Mediterranean Sea) during the period from 28 September 1960 to 11 October 1961, Gaudy (1962) points to this rare species over the year and mainly at the end in summer and autumn (after p.99. C.R). The occurrence of this species in the Abidjan waters (Ivory coast) seems exceptional.
After Norrbin (1992, p.6) this species is uncommon so far north at Hakřybotn, Norway (69°30'N), found mainly during summer and disappears during winter.
Nota: Two types of resting eggs are recognised: 1- Quiescent (retarded) eggs which hatch soon after environmental conditions become favourable (e.g. hatch when incubated in the laboratory under appropriate temperatures), and 2 - diapause (arrested) eggs which will not hatch until they complete and obligatory refractory period (Grice & Marcus, 1981.
Resting eggs of those calanoids which oterwise hatch within the egg sac are also released and sink to the bottom (e.g. Eurytemora affinis).
Madhupratap & al. (1996) collected from the Kiel Bay and adjacent waters in the southwestern Baltic Sea during April-May (1994), resting eggs of four species of calanoid copepods and three species of cladocerans form sediments up to 5 cm depth. In the Kiel Bay, egg abundances varied from 1.8 x 105 to 7.4 x 105 m-2. Hatching success of copepod eggs collecterd from all depths was high (49 to 94%), but was 0 to 79% for cladoceran eggs. Darkness did not seem to affect hatching. Eggs found in the 4 to 5 cm layer of sediment were estimated to be about 15 yr old, showing the presence of an ''egg bank'' in the Baltic. Formation of resting eggs may be a genetic trait acquired during the ice ages.
After Barton & al., 2013 (p.530, Table b1) the feeding mode a mixing 'ambush' and 'cruising' (see definition in Centropages typicus).
