Extract

Pseudocalanus elongatus(Boeck) from Plymouth Station Ex was kept in reproducing culture for 6 months and approximately four generations. Cultured adult females were at least as large as wild females of the same species which havematured at a comparable temperature (15 °C) in nature. At 15 °C hatching time was 2—3 days, time to first copepodite was 18—20 days, and the time from egg to development of an egg-carrying female averaged 37 days.
