Abstract
An observation of Calanus marshallae Frost, 1974, on the Atlantic side of the Polar Ocean is reported. Copepods were identified by comparing nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA with a previo usly reported sequence from the Pacific region. Presence of the specie s in the Barents Sea may explain multi-modal length distributions prev iously obtained in the region. Potential implications for future ident ification of Calanus spp, in this region are discussed.
