Энергетика движения морских каланид

Title: Энергетика движения морских каланид Authors: Светличный Л. С.; Степанов В. Н. Abstract: The article deals with the calculation method for copepods energy expenditures for moving in water. Specific power developed by the copepod when overcoming the medium resistance and transferring residual mass is found to depend on the motion velocity and physical parameters of water. Dynamics of these characteristics interrelation within the whole size group of Calanidae is revealed. Mechanical efficiencies during smooth sliding and spasmodic motion of copepods are calculated. The value of active metabolism is calculated from the literature data on velocity and duration of C. helgolandicus motion in the experiment.
