Calanus glacialis copepods - used for metabolic experiments on board the Q1 cruise 2021

Abstract

Adults Calanus glacialis females and copepodites in stage V were sampled at P1, P4 and P7 and subsequently used for respiration experiments under ocean acidification treatments on board. The individuals were sampled and preserved at -80 in order to use in future analyses. Moreover, females Calanus hyperboreus with eggs were sampled at P4. These females were incubated in order to account for hatching success. The resulting larvae were used for respiration experiments under ocean acidification conditions and subsequently sampled for future analyses.
