| The application of the method of basic components to a simultaneous consideration of parameters reflecting the behavioural characteristics of locomotory activity under a variable regime of swimming, size-weight peculiarities in copepods and external conditions close to natural ones has revealed an individual locomotory character of each of the species and common features peculiar to the species groups. It is shown possible to give an objective estimate of the copepods locomotion character through an example of 8 species, different in habitat, and in one and the same species from different populations. "Space", "locomotory activity reserve", "static state" and "passiveness" have proved to be important general complex features for considering the copepod... |
