| A long-term survey of the monthly variations of the copepod assemblages was carried out off Kerguelen Island (Kerfix Station) from February 1992 through to January 1995. Copepods were clearly dominant in the mesozooplankton (>90% of the total), with population abundances ranging from <100 individuals m(-3) in winter to 700 individuals m(-3) in summer. Calanus simillimus, Rhincalanus gigas, Metridia lucens, Oithona frigida, Oithona similis and Calanoides acutus were the most abundant species. From mid-1993, incubation experiments were performed with copepods in order to estimate the grazing pressure on the phytoplankton standing stock. In addition, estimations of their metabolic cost (oxygen comsumption) were also made. All experimental measurements... |
