“…Acartia hudsonica is one of several closely related species that prior to Bradford's (1976) partial revision of the subgenus Acartiura were known as Acartia clausi or clausii. A. hudsonica corresponds to A. clausi in earlier studies from New England coastal waters (e.g.…”

“…Conover 1956;Deevey 1960;Durbin and Durbin 1981). A. clausi from Onagawa Bay, Japan (Uye 198 1,1982), corresponds to Acartia omorii of Bradford (1976), who placed this species in a group including A. hudsonica with close affinities to A. clausii. Bradford examined specimens attributed to A. clausii from Puget Sound and was unable to determine whether it was a single, somewhat variable species or a species complex.…”

Seasonal changes in size and egg production in the copepod Acartia hudsonica were investigated during the 1984 winter-spring bloom in Narragansett Bay. Possible food limitation was investigated lhrough comparisons of short-term weight change and egg production rate in copepods incubated in ambient Narragansett Bay water and in bay water enriched with cultured algae. A preliminary experiment showed that egg production responded in ~24 h to a change in food availability at 4"C-the coldest experimental temperature. Food was not limiting in February-April, but mild food limitation developed in May-June, affecting body weight more than egg production. These results contrast with strong food limitation of the summer dominant, Acar;!ia tonsa. Empirical regressions describe relationships between A. hudsonica length and weight, and egg production in relation to temperature, weight, and field Chl a.A separate study suggested that A. hudsonica adults were dominated by changing age groups lduring the winter-spring period. Present results indicate that the adult age distribution affects mean body weight, condition factor, and egg production rate, especially in April and May when the autumn-hatched, over-wintering copepods are being replaced by newly matured, winter-spring hatched adults.

“…Paralabidocera grandispina, like other Acartiidae (Bradford 1976;Uye & Fleminger 1976), may overwinter as eggs which hatch during the spring and early summer. Such species complete their life cycle quickly during the spring-summer food maximum so that both the maturation of the gonads and the development of the young are completed in the one season.…”

“…Copepodites with a conspicuous red eye were assigned to the calanoid copepod family Acartiidae because the outer edge spines on the swimming leg exopods were not articulated with the joint (Bradford 1976 Tisbe prolata copepodites were identified mainly by their similarity to the adults; the average size of an adult female was 1.30 mm. No other harpacticoid species was taken in the tide crack so there was little chance of mistaking copepodites of another Tisbe species.…”

The standing crop and succession of the zooplankton are described for a tide crack community in permanent ice of the Ross Ice Shelf at White Island, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The zooplankton in the tide crack was dominated by three species of copepod: acalanoid, Parabidocera grandispina (Waghorn 1979); a cyclopoid, Pseudocyclopina belgica (Giesbrecht 1902); and an harpacticoid, Tisbe prolata (Waghorn 1979). Each species had marked peaks in abundance; from late November until mid December P. belgica and T. prolata were most abundant while from mid December till early January P. grandispina dominated. Within the tide crack both the phytoplankton and the copepods show a distinct pattern of succession and the breeding patterns of the copepods are synchronised with the limited period of phytoplankton blooms. The tide crack is an important nursery for P. grandispina and P. belgica and a habitat for the older stages of T. prolata.

“…This group of organisms has a great diversity. There are about 11,500 species of copepods described by Humes (1994) and the number is steadily increasing with the description of new species, such as those from anchialine caves (Fosshagen, 1991), hydrothermal vents (Humes, 1991), and those previously reported under the name of another species (Bradford, 1976;Soh & Suh, 2000).…”
