Spatial variability of Calanus spp. size and lipid content in the northwest Atlantic : compilation and brief summary of historical observations, 1977-2020 / by Laura K. Helenius, Erica J.H. Head, Phoebe...: Fs97-6/3549E-PDF
"Marine copepods belonging to the genus Calanus are an important trophic link in ecosystems of the Atlantic Ocean, and contribute a substantial proportion of the total copepod biomass in these ecosystems. Measurements of Calanus spp. (C. hyperboreus, C. glacialis and C. finmarchicus) size and lipid content (individual prosome length, dry weight, oil sac area, and oil sac volume) have been collected over several decades for various projects from regions of the northwest Atlantic. Main areas of collections include the Gulf of Maine, Scotian Shelf, Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and the Newfoundland Shelf. This report documents the merging and processing of these data to compile a multi-regional and multi-decadal Calanus spp. size dataset for publication"--Abstract.
