Turns out the in New York City contains harmless called .

This apparently makes it so the in is both not and not . Also it means anyone who lives in New York is walking around covered in an invisible film of potentially thousands to millions of dead Crustaceans due to showering.

While most are familiar with green and productive tropical land, many don't know it can be opposite in the , with fertile polar regions. When sunlight returns to the poles, oceans bloom with , which many large (almost a cm long!) in the Calanus genus and krill (euphausids to be fancy) take advantage of. Baleen 🐋, commercially important fish and shrimp come to feed on these short, efficient .

have amazing abilities to sense their environment. The setae on long extended antennae have mechanoreceptors & chemosensors (aesthetascs). can smell and track a pheromone plume of many body lengths, or detect particular prey items. Very sophisticated behavior for this ecologically important uncharismatic microfauna.
This is an excellent review article on the chemical ecology of copepods. Highly recommended read. 📖

Mind blown right here: a marine photographer capturing the bright-colored plankton in a drop of seawater.

I’m super excited by this one! I believe this is a copepod embryo/nauplius in its hatching membrane (Lugol fixed)😯. After the embryo matures, it breaks out of the outer cyst in this membrane, which then expands before bursting and releasing the nauplius. Swipe to see what I think is an empty cyst (I was wondering this was for ages!)

I really need a comprehensive planktonic copepod key, but with the resources I’ve got, I _think_ this is Centropages typicus.

Can anyone recommend a comprehensive planktonic copepod visual key for the north atlantic?
