Physiological and biochemical characteristics of Calanoides carinatus in waters off the coast of Namibia

DOI

Biochemical composition, feeding and oxygen uptake rate of mass planktic copepod Calanoides carinatus were studied off the coast of Namibia in January 1986. Population of this species in the area had two parts: the surface group inhabiting the 0-100 m layer and the deep part inhabiting depths greater than 200 m. Individuals in the surface and deep parts of the population differed in food content of guts, lipid content of bodies, oxygen uptake rate and behavior. Differences in biochemical composition and rate of physiological processes indicate that individuals in the deep part of the population are in diapause. Nature of changes in biochemical composition of C. carinatus in surface and deep waters in relation to life cycle characteristics in upwelling waters are discussed.
