Errors in juvenile copepod growth rate estimates are widespread: problems with the Moult Rate method [PDF]
, 2005 The ‘Moult Rate’ (MR) method has been used widely to derive stage-specific growth rates in juvenile copepods. It is the most common field-based method. Unfortunately, the equation underlying the method is wrong and, consequently, large errors in juvenile

Does egg production represent adult female copepod growth? A call to account for body weight changes [PDF]
, 2001 An almost universal assumption in determining growth in copepods is that, over short periods, an individual adult female's net growth is equal to the amount of material expelled as eggs.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The euryhaline copepod Pseudodiaptomus inopinus play important roles in coastal waters as vectors of docosahexanoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids for larval fish.

Starvation reduces thermal limits of the widespread copepod Acartia tonsa
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Organismal thermal limits affect a wide range of biogeographical and ecological processes. Copepods are some of the most abundant animals on the planet and play key roles in aquatic habitats.

Converting copepod vital rates into units appropriate for biogeochemical models [PDF]
, 2009 The conversion of units is one of the difficulties of model parameterisation. Conversion errors may result not only from incorrect choices of conversion factors, but also from incorrect choices of the value itself.

Mortality of marine planktonic copepods : global rates and patterns [PDF]
, 2002 Using life history theory we make predictions of mortality rates in marine epi-pelagic copepods from field estimates of adult fecundity, development times and adult sex ratios.

First report of two parasitic copepods of Pampus argenteus (Stromateidae) in west of Persian Gulf, Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2015 A survey on parasitic copepods was carried out on Pampus argenteus Euphrasen, 1788 in Hormozgan province. Totally, 62 specimens were caught by bottom trawl from northwest of Qeshm Island in summer 2010 and winter 2011. These were immediately frozen in on-

Changes in gene expression, lipid class and fatty acid composition associated with diapause in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus from Loch Etive, Scotland. [PDF]
, 2009 Zooplankton are the major primary consumers in pelagic ecosystems, providing the principal pathway for energy transfer from primary production to higher trophic levels. The marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus is an important component of the pelagic food
