Abstract
Atomic C:N ratios in calanoid copepods were generally below the Redfie ld ratio (6.6), except for the fifth copepodid stage of Calanus sp. Th e C:P ratios in copepods were generally close to, or higher than the R edfield ratio of 106, but low C:P ratios were found in Acartia clausi (63 +/- 7) and in the cladocerans (Podon sp.: 34 +/- 5 and Evadne sp.: 59 +/- 22).
