Depth-frequency diagrams and trap results of Pseudocalanus minutus females, males and stage V copepodids 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.
Sampling for eight and four periods, respectively, between 10:30 August 19 and 09:30 August 20, 1980, at St. Georges Bay, shallow marine embayment open on the north to Northumberland Strait and the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Comparison of the feeding behaviour of Calanus pacificus (large species) and Pseudocalanus minutus (small species) in two controlled experimental ecosystems (CEEs) with phytoplankton food (CEE 2: mainly diatoms; CEE 3: mainly flagellate population).
Fig.10: A, Mean clearance rate related to particle size. All experiments included. C. pacificus: black circle; P. minutus: open circle. CEE 2: line; CEE 3: dotted line.
Fig. 11: B, Comparison of mean retention efficiencies in relation to particle size. mean value for all experiments days, both CEEs combined.
C. pacificus: black circle; P. minutus: open circle.
Nota: In the fig.10 (A) the large decrease in C. pacificus clearance rate for the highest size channel may represent decreased ability to ''handle'' these large paricles. The Fig.11 (B) demontrates that below 20 micrometers P. minutus characterizing a small form) filters with a greater efficiency in all size channels. Between 20 and 70 micrometers the converse is observed with C. pacificus (characterizing a large form) having greater efficiency.
For the authors, it was found over a series of experiments lasting 72 days, during which a wide range of phytoplankton was encountered, that on average fed on slightly larger particles (1.2 x diameter) than Pseudocalanus. However, despite the large difference in body size (x 10 dry weight) there was evidence that on most occasions both species were competing for the same food resource over a wide range of the particle-size spectrum. |

Numbers/m2 of all stages of Pseudocalanus minutus (from Tessiarsuk Basin: 56°30'N, 61°57'W) through the 1961 season and spring 1962.
Broken lines indicate probable paths of development of individual broods.
Nota: Tessiarsuk is a elongate lagoon of 545 hectares, a depth between 54 m (upper basin) and 26 m (lower basin), with approximately two days out of three some seawater enters at high tides. Like most meromictic lakes, Tessiarsuk shows gradual desoxygenation with depth.
The marked and perpetuated bimodality in the earlier samples from the lake seems interpreted as the result of two successive and relatively synchronous spawnings by the overwintered animals.
In the upper basin the two spring broods iof the first generation, G1B1 and G1B2, appear as abundance peaks at CI, respectively, on 20 June. Development of G1B1 progressed steadily and by 15 August the most precocious had matured, supplanting the smaller adults of G0 (see fig.5: Size distribution). G1 B2, on the other hand, remained stationary at NIII until 15 August when the mode disappeared and further development became difficult to follow. It is possible that this brood is finally represented on 21 September by the mode at either CII or CIV. A second generation is first suggested by the mode at NI on 28 August. Intensive spawning did not occur until later as shown by the large numbers of naupliar stages I-III on 21 September.In the lower basin during the early part of the season, P. minutus showed the same general pattern of breeding and development as those in the upper basin.
In Tessiarsuk, because of oxygen deficiency at depth, the species was mainly restricted to the upper waters. |

Size (cephalothorax length) distribution of adult female P. minutus in the two basins of Tessiarsuk and Anaktalik Bay during the 1961 season and spring of 1962.
Nota: In Tessiarsuk and Anaktalik Bay, phytoplankton data are insufficient to allow speculation on the relationship between feeding and length. However, a certain inverse relationship does appear to exist between remperature and length.
Mean cephalothorax length of copepodites I-V in the lake was relatively constant throughout the summer. A slight decrease occurred in midsummer but this trend was reversed toward the end of the season.
In Anaktalik Bay all pre-adult copepodites attained lengrh maxima between mid-June and mid-July, when they were markedly larger than the animals in the lake. This was followed by a sharp size decrease during late July and August. The water column in the bay was considerably cooler that in the lake during winter and spring. These lower temperatures persisted until warming occurred in July and August, in agreement with the earlier length maxima followed by the midsummer size reduction. September temperatures in the bay declined slightly and this was immediately reflected in length increases by copepodites I-III, although CIV continued to get smaller and CV showed erratic behavior, possibly due to rge small sample available.
In April 1962, most copepodites were as small or smaller than at any time during the previous summer, suggesting that they might have reached their present stage of development in the autumn when the water was fairly warm. By 19 May, a marked increase in length was seen in most stages, in agreement with the observation that development during the preceding period occurred when temperatures under the ice cover were still very low.
The pronounced bimodality in adult females of Go in 1961 can be explained only tentatively in the absence of earlier samples. Nevertheless, it appears likely that the smaller animals passed through their entire development in warm water and matured in the previous autumn, while the larger ones, possibly spawned late in the season, spent the winter as young copepodites and reached maturity in early spring. |

Relationship between the length of individual female Pseudocalanus minutus (from Halifax) and the numbers of eggs in individual sacs at the designated concentrations of Isochrisis.
Nota: Experimets at 6-7°C and animals fed Isochrysis galbana (flagellates).
An examination of the population off Halifax from January to March 1967 showed that 56.5 % of eggs were carried in sacs and 43.5 % were carried in masses; free eggs may also be taken in the plankton.
Females of a given length which produce small eggs may produce more eggs per clutch, and those which produce large eggs may produce fewer clutches. Such differences in the size of eggs among females of the same length are probably inherent and little affected by conditions at the time of laying.
The most noteworthy result of these long-term experiments is that the mean numbers of eggs in the sacs produced by 'healthy' females, before evidence of reproductive decline, was apparently uninfluenced by wide variations in food supply from 6 x10power 5 to 3x 10power 4 cells/ml.
There was no correlation between the number of sacs laid and female size, although large numbers (8-11 sacs) were produced only by females between 0.89 and 1.04 mm in length. Becaus the weak number of experimental animals completed 8-11 full-sized sacs it would be unsafe to conclude that the potential number of such sacs differs in small or large females; it seems simplest to assume that this potential is about 10 egg-sacs.
The minimum time between the production of egg sacs must be determined by the time taken for eggs to hatch. This time will depend on temperature (McLaren, 1966). The time between the hatching of one clutch and the formation of the next can presumably be affected by food supply. |

Relationship betwwen food supply (Isochrysis replenished at the stated level at weekly intervals) and relative mean size of the oil sacs of P. minutus (from Halifax, Nova Scotia) during the period of full egg production; relative size of the oil sac is obtained from estimates of volume of oil sac (length x twice the breadth) divided by cephalothorax volume (0.0876 x Lpower 3.32 after McLaren, 1965).
Nota: The sizes of the oil sacs of individual females during the long-term experiment showed for most females a similar pattern of variation : the oil sac usually at first enlarged, then remained constant before becoming smaller, and sometimes even disappearing before death.. Usually the oil sac became smaller before the last egg sac was produced.
Females at high food levels contained large oil sacs and those at low food levels had very small ones, if any, but still laid eggs, which suggests that lipid is laid down by these animals when rate of egg production cannot be increased. Below ceratin food levels, food energy is put into eggs ; above these levels, some appears to be stored. It may be inferred that when, in nature, these copepods have well developed oil sacs during the reproductive season they are reproducing at maximal, temperature determined rates.
It is possible that some form of ‘oil sac index’ might be used to correlate laboratory food levels with those found in nature so that a ceratin size of oil sac may indicate a particular level of assimilable food. |

Pseudocalanus minutus. Frequency histograms of prosome length distributions in male and female from various Barents Sea regions (A: southern; B: central; C, eastern; D: northern) delineated by cluster analysis based on hydrological variables.
Sampled stations in August-September 2007. Zooplankton samplescollected with a vertically hauled Juday net (168µm mesh size).
For the authors it is possible that the two groups delineated by the discriminant function analysis (DFA) are cryptic subspecies or suprapopulations; however, that the morphologically differentiated populations of P. minutus have no species status. Although the discriminant analysis swowed that the classification rate of individuals to correct populations was high (78.4% and 62.2% in case of male and female copepods, respectively), there was still overlap of individuals; At the time, it should be noted that the northern population strongly differed from the others. The present morphometric analysis in itseff does not allow us to conclude that the current species status of P. minutus is in need of revision; hence, the observed morphological variation could be a geographical gradient of ecophenotypic variation connected with hydrological variability.
An other main morphometric character of primary importance in separating the populations in P. minutus (especially in males) was the antennule length. This parameter can vary in association with enviromental conditions (temperature, salitnity); it is suggested that antennule variability mignt be adaptative for maintening neutral buoyancy or for adding drag to slow sinking when buoyancy is not neutral (see Shuvalov, 1975), in the recognition of conspecific individuals and in feeding behavior (see Landry, 1980, Landry & al., 1985). Moreover, male copepods use their antennule to grab females when inseminating; it may be suggested that longer males with more hignly segmented antennules would have some advantage during copulation. |
