Abstract
The durations of life stages of the marine copepod Acartia clausi relative to egg development time are consistently maintained when these animals are cultured with excess food at 10, 15, and 20°C. Seasonal acclimation effects, which have been shown to affect the egg development of A. clausi, are carried through an entire generation. Generation time or the development time of any postembryonic stage can be calculated from life history data at one temperature and the relationship between egg development at other temperatures regardless of the effect of acclimation.
