Abstract

Laboratory experiments on feeding and respiration were carried out with the copepodTemora longicornisin the Clyde sea-area. In feeding experiments, a method using radiophosphorus as a tracer was employed. The filtering rate was very variable and is probably related to size. There seemed to be a seasonal variation in filtering rates. During the summer of 1961 weekly water samples were taken for estimation of the particulate carbohydrate in the sea. There was always enough food present forTemora. Respiration was measured by using a modified Winkler method. Oxygen consumption was related to surface area, and corrections in respiratory rates were made for the size differences in the animals used. Respiratory rates were very high at the beginning of an experiment, but after a sharp fall the rate became steady in about 30 h. An indication of seasonal variation in oxygen uptake was found.
