Extract

It has been argued (McLaren, 1963, 1965) that reproduction and development of copepods may be physiologically (rather than trophically) determined when food is sufficiently abundant: thus, under these conditions the rates of development and egg production, and the total number of eggs laid by a female in her lifetime vary only with the physical factors of the environment such as temperature, salinity and pressure, temperature being by far the most important. This paper is part of a continuing study of the physiological controls of growth and development as part of a general investigation on productivity of marine zooplankton.
