Traditionally large-sized copepod species (mainly from the genus Calanus) have been the target species of zooplankton studies in the Arctic, due to their high contribution in terms of biomass during the productive season, and also due to their link to fisheries. However, nowadays there is evidence that small species can also be important, particularly in those periods of the year in which these larged-sized copepods go into deep waters to diapause (i.e. late summer-autumn, winter). In this project we aim to study some aspects of the biology and ecology of the marine copepod genus Oithona in polar trophic food webs, with the final goal to improve our understanding of the functioning of the pelagic food-web in the Arctic.
