This study represents the first attempt to acquire basic information on the feeding, reproduction and development of the copepod Clausocalanus furcatus . This small oceanic calanoid benefits from low phytoplankton concentrations and has a swimming behaviour which differs dramatically from that of other small copepods. Our preliminary results may be indicative of the success of this species in oligotrophic waters.
