Species of Calanus were sampled at stations off southwest Nova Scotia during an 8-d cruise in June, 1982. A simple model using shipboard measurement of molting rates of predominant copepodite stages accurately predicted the changes in cohort structure that occurred at stations along a transect at the beginning and end of the cruise. The combined durations of C. finmarchicus (Gunnerus) stages CIII and CIV, calculated from the inverses of molting rates corrected for presence of diapausing C. glacialis Jaschnov, corresponded well with development times based on laboratory rearing experiments. We conclude that our molting rate measurements accurately reflected processes in nature. This methodology is useful for analyzing the dynamics and production of copepod populations.
