The respiration rate increased hyperbolically with increasing ambient chlorophyll α (Chl. α) concentration regardless of the reproductive status. The increase of respiration with Chl. α concentration may be caused by activated feeding behavior. This suggests that all adult females during spring were physiologically active individuals. Possible advantages of the rapid response to food concentration in adult female copepods are discussed.}, pages = {45--51}, title = {Respiration of adult female Calanus hyperboreus (Copepoda) during spring in the North Water Polynya}, volume = {15}, year = {2002} }
