Paracalanus Parvus

Seasonal changes in body size (prosome length: PL) and oil sac volume (OSV) of the three most numerically abundant copepods in Ishikari Bay, northern Sea of Japan, Paracalanus parvus (Claus, 1863), Pseudocalanus newmani Frost, 1989 and Oithona similis Claus, 1866, were studied using monthly samples collected through vertical hauls of a 100-μm mesh NORPAC net from March, 2001 to May, 2002. Seasonal changes in PL were common for the three species and were more pronounced during a cold spring. PL was negatively correlated with temperature, and this relationship was described well using the Bělehrádek equation. Seasonal changes in OSV exhibited a species-specific pattern, i.e., OSV was greater during a warm summer for P. parvus and was greater during a cold spring for P. newmani and O. similis. The OSV peak period corresponded with the optimal thermal season of each species. The relative OSV to prosome volume of the small copepods (0.6-0.8%) was substantially lower than that of the large copepods (20-32%). These facts suggest that the oil sac of small copepods is not used for overwintering or diapauses or during periods of food scarcity, but is instead used as the primary energy source for reproduction, which occurs during the optimum thermal season of each species.

Seasonal Data

During a period of five years in the mid-1970s, fish were collected at weekly intervals from the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. The resultant data on the abundance and lengths of these fish have provided valuable information on the times when the juveniles of several marine species are recruited into the estuary and on their pattern of growth during the first years of life (Claridge & Gardner, 1977; Titmus, Claridge & Potter, 1978; Claridge & Potter, 1983, 1984, 1985; Potter & Claridge, 1985). One of the marine species found in the Severn Estuary for which no seasonal data on density or body size have been presented is the sole, Solea solea (L.), whose relative abundance ranked it amongst the top ten species in two of the five years of our study (Claridge, Potter & Hardisty, 1986).
