| The secondary production of the harpacticoid copepod <i>Paronychocamptus nanus</i> (Sars, 1908) in a shallow, brackish-water pond was estimated during spring and summer 1980. The population was sampled every 5 d. Production of copepodites and adults, calculated by the size-frequency method, amounts to 1.91 g m<sup>-2</sup> dry wt over the sampling period (March-November). Egg production is 1.23 g m<sup>-2</sup>; naupliar production is roughly 1.09 g m<sup>-2</sup>. The production efficiency (ratio of production to production plus respiration) of copepodites and adults is 0.37; for the total population it is 0.42.<i>P</i>:<i>B</i> of the population is 24.45 over the sampling period, or... |
