The herbivorous Antarctic copepodCalanoides acutusoverwinters inactively in a resting stage (diapause) at depths below 500 m. It is assumed that during diapauseC. acutusis neutrally buoyant in order to retain energy reserves otherwise depleted by swimming activities. However, so far, no experimental observations on its buoyancy have been reported and our knowledge of buoyancy regulation mechanisms is incomplete. In the present study, species-specific differences in buoyancy were assessed visually. Observations were made of specimens from the diapausing cohort ofC. acutusand compared to another herbivorous copepodCalanus propinquus, which overwinters actively feeding in the upper water layers. Freshly caught copepods were anaesthetized in a 3-amino-benzoic acid ethyl ester (MS222) in seawater solution in order to exclude the influence of swimming movements on buoyancy control. It was shown thatC. propinquuswas negatively buoyant, whereas diapausingC. acutusremained neutrally buoyant. This is the first record that neutral buoyancy in diapausing copepods is maintained by the biochemical body composition without the additional need of swimming movements.
