Abstract

Calanus finmarchicus is an abundant calanoid copepod in the New York Bight (NYB) that has energy-dense lipid stores. This study measured C. finmarchicus abundance, lipid storage and energy density and compared it to two other abundant calanoid species in the region. We compared the NYB C. finmarchicus preyfield characteristics with data from two other NW Atlantic coastal ecosystems, the Gulf of Maine (GoM) and Cape Cod Bay (CCB). Copepods from net tows were identified, enumerated, photographed and measured. These data were used to calculate animal biovolume and lipid content as well as the volumetric energy density of the copepod preyfield. C. finmarchicus were most abundant in spring and summer and the mean lipid storage of C. finmarchicus remained largely constant regardless of season and location within the NYB. Centropages typicus were abundant enough in the winter to be more energy-rich than C. finmarchicus. Temora longicornis, while also abundant, never surpassed the energy density of C. finmarchicus. C. finmarchicus in the NYB were comparably lipid-rich to those from the GoM and CCB. C. finmarchicus in the NYB can be a reliable energy source for local predators due to their high spring and summer abundances and year-round storage of high-energy wax esters.
