The postembryonic development of a species of the cyclopoid copepod genus Corycaeus from Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, is described and illustrated. Specimens were obtained from a large (40 000/m3) population of Corycaeus which developed in the control (unperturbated) enclosure of a Controlled Ecosystem Pollution Experiment studying the effects of copper on marine ecosystems. Population dynamics of the species in the 1700-m3 enclosed water columns are discussed.
