Abstract: | The change in dry weight over a year for the five copepodid states of Centropages typicus and Temora stylifera is given. The amounts of carbon and nitrogen, expressed as percentages of dry weight, are higher for copepodids than for adults. The values of the ratios may be regarded as constant for the different stages and of the same order as those of the adults. The calorific values of young stages are higher than those of adults, because of the relatively high carbon content. A good correlation was found between the caloric value per animal (or per unit dry weight) and the dry weight of individuals.It seems that the ecological efficiency in terms of energy transport will be greater when the copepod populations are younger. |
