Abstract

The development time to hatching of eggs of four closely related species of copepods, Calanus helgolandicus (Claus), C. finmarchicus (Gunn.), C. glacialis Jaschnov, and C. hyperboreus Kröyer as a function of temperature is given by D ̂ = a(T−α) b . The constant a is positively correlated with egg diameter, so that large eggs take longer to develop than small eggs. The value of the constant α is related to the geographical range of the species.
