Abstract:Seasonal and ontogenetic changes in natural development timewere studied for Eodiaptomus japonicus in Lake Biwa in 1986and 1987. Wild individuals in a certain developmental stagewere collected, fed on natural food and examined until theyhad moulted twice. Natural development times fluctuated irrespectiveof temperature from May to October. Food deficiency delayeddevelopment in all feeding stages, and food availability probablydetermined natural development time. Serious food limitationraised mortality in copepodid stage I. In November developmentwas delayed even with enough food. The development of E.japonicuswas almost isochronal except for a short prefeeding naupliarstage I and a long copepodid stage V.
