  2. Cyclops strenuus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclops_strenuus

    Cyclops strenuus (Fisher) is a common species of copepod in small water bodies in central Europe. [2] The life-cycle of C. strenuus varies depending on habitat type and climate. In some habitat year round reproduction occurs. While in others one or two distinct generations exist with summer diapause.

  3. Copepod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copepod

    Copepods (/ ˈ k oʊ p ə p ɒ d /; meaning "oar-feet") are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat.Some species are planktonic (living in the water column), some are benthic (living on the sediments), several species have parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as ...

  4. Acartia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acartia

    Nauplii hatch and undergo six distinct life stages to become copepodites and then undergo another six life stages to become fully mature copepods. [3] Some species of Acartia are known to exhibit a diapause, a resting period when the species is dormant, as a part of their life cycle. These species produce "resting eggs" when environmental ...

  5. Calanus hyperboreus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calanus_hyperboreus

    This shows a life cycle of three years (in the case of the male, which is not found during the summer) and three to four years (for the female). In other areas, like the Greenland Sea Gyre, development into adults may occur in the second year of development, indicating a likely life cycle of two to three years.

  6. Poecilostomatoida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poecilostomatoida

    In addition to typical marine environments, poecilostomatoid copepods may be found in such very particular habitats as anchialine caves and deep sea vents (both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps). Here, many primitive associated copepods belonging to the Poecilostomatoida and Siphonostomatoida and have been found. [ 6 ]

  7. Cyclopoida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopoida

    Like many other copepods, members of Cyclopoida are small, planktonic animals living both in the sea and in freshwater habitats. They are capable of rapid movement. Their larval development is metamorphic, and the embryos are carried in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite. [1]

  8. Calanus finmarchicus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calanus_finmarchicus

    Calanus finmarchicus is considered to be a large copepod, being typically 2–4 millimetres (0.08–0.16 in) long. [citation needed] Copepods like C. finmarchicus represent a major part of dry weight (biomass) mesozooplankton in pelagic ecosystems. [4] Calanus finmarchicus is high in protein and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. [5]

  9. Pennella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennella

    Like most parasitic copepods it is the female which is parasitic in Pennella while the males are free swimming. The female has a two host life cycle and egg production commences when an inseminated female settles on its ultimate host, usually a large marine fish such as a member of the cod family Gadidae or tuna.
