Abstract
The traditional impression of copepod production is that it follows and is dependent upon the growth of diatoms. But others suggest that it is independent; and still others suggest that the population of the two in a given area is inversely related. Obviously the feeding habits of the copepods are the clue to the situation; and these are reviewed, without, however, a clear solution to the problem being yet obtainable.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
