Discussion
- Acceleration starts at birth and continues till puberty, beyond metam; growth ceases at puberty
- Data for females
Facts
- sexual reproduction in last copepodite stage; 11 moults: 5 naupliar stages, 6 copepodite stages (Ref: Vijv1980)
- cyclopoid: adult is carnivore, younger copepodites are omnivore, nauplii are herbivore (Ref: Vijv1980)
- dry weight: log10(W in mug) = 0.24 + 1.68 * log10(L in mm) (Ref: VijvFran1976)
