Article Description

The copepods Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus) and Metridia longa (Lubbock) together with the euphausiids Thysanoessa inermis (Krøyer) and T. raschi (M. Sars) are the dominant biomass of the zooplankton in Balsfjorden. Although they all spawn during the phytoplankton production season, a significant portion of their gonad maturation and development occurs during the winter when phytoplankton is absent. Nevertheless, there is a tendency for off-set spawning times and growth patterns in these species.
