Egg diameter, carbon and nitrogen contents and prosome length (PL) of females of Neocalanus flemingeri from 42°00' N, 145°00' E. (Oyashio region, western subarctic Pacific). In incubators at 2°C and 4°C, also 6°C; salinity: 32.0-33.5 psu.
Nota: Compare with N. cristatus and N. plumchrus and others species in genus Calanus.

Mean ± 1 S.E. of prosome length (mm), carbon and nitrogen contents (µg), and C:N ratio. Values in parenthesis give the range.

Carte 11 Issued from : H. Saito & A. Tsuda in Deep-Sea Res. I, 47. [p.2149, Table 4]. Neocalanus flemingeri:
Egg hatching time (days: mean ± 1 S.E.) at different temperature and egg hatching success (%) of Neocalanus spp.
ND: mean no data.

Compare with N. plumchrus anxd N. cristatus.

Nota: Developmental times of hatching -C1 and CI-CV were estimated to be 38 and 49 days at 2°C. In the Oyashio region , many CII and CIII stages were observed in December, but the CV stage were observed until April (Tsuda & al., 1999). This suggests that N. flemingeri has different relative developmental time compared to others species, or the development does not follow the equiproportional rule of development (see Corkett & al., 1986 showed that the equiproportional rule of development was appropriate for Calanus spp., and relative times of reaching various stages between hatchung and molting to CI were similar among species).

Carte 12 Issued from : H. Saito & A. Tsuda in Deep-Sea Res. I, 47. [p.2147, Fig. 3].
Typical egg laying pattern comparison between Neocalanus cristatus (top), N. plumchrus (middle) and N. flemingeri (bottom).
Open circles mean the day of death.

Nota: N. flemingeri clutch size was the largest of the three Neocalanus species studied, but intervals between clutches were intermediate.
The first two clutches were largest with clutch size decreasing as spawning proceeded.
The maximum clutch size observed was 687 eggs and the mean ± 1 S.E. of the largest clutch size of each female that produced more than 4 clutches was 443 ± 133 eggs.
The maximum clutch number was 6, and the maximum fecundity was 1398 eggs per female.
The clutch number and the fecundity of a single female with ''developing'' ovaries (Miller & Clemons, 1988) in the beginning of the experiment were 4 and 1043 eggs per female.
Mean fecundity of females that produced more than 4 clutches was 924 ± 346 eggs per female.
Total carbon and nitrogen production as eggs per female were 456 µg C and 49 µg N.
The intervals between clutches were more or less constant, and the mean ± 1 S.E. were 9.3 ± 1.8 days at 2°C and 8.2 ± 2.1 days at 4°C.
The egg laying period calculated from the mean interval and the maximum clutch number was 47 days ay 2°C and 42 days at 4°C.
Females producing more than 4 clutches laid 65-86% of their eggs in the largest 2 clutches, that is, within 9-11 days.
After the final egg laying, spent females of N. plumchrus and N. flemingeri were alive for 6-35 days. Spent N. cristatus stayed alive up to 115 days.
