Diel and seasonal vana t~ons in the vertical d is tnbut~ons of Calanus finmarchicus Metr jd~a longa M lucens and C h ~ r ~ d l u s armatus in Malangen, northern Norway, were determined from F e b ~ uary until December 1992 The vertical behav~our differed among the species and among the ditterent stages of a single species The vertical distnbution of C hnmarchlcus was dom~na ted by seasonal rather than d ~ e l vertical migra t~on, and this species was found in surface waters during the spring phytoplankton bloom (March to May) and at the bottom of the fjord in the fall and wlnter Melrldla spp were generally cons~stent d ~ e l vertical mlgrators However M longa usually stayed deeper and had a larger migration dmplltude than M lucens M longa was more deeply dlstrlbuted In the w ~ n t e r than d u r ~ n g the summer while M lucens showed no such seasonal trend The vertical behaviour of C d ~ m a t u s was related to the seasonal change In day length and diel ver t~cal ~nlgratlon was strong In periods of large dayh igh t contrast (spring and autumn) but ceased d u r ~ n g the pe r~ods of m ~ d n ~ g h t sun and wlnter darkness Duiing the summer C armatus stayed deep both day and night D ~ e l vertlcal behav~our in young stages of all 4 species was weak or undetectable by the s a m p l ~ n g method used Younger stages of C finn~archlcus and Metr ld~a spp remained higher in the water column, tvhile the opposite was observed In C armatus While seasonal vana t~ons in vertical behaviour a r e related to vana t~ons in food and light condltlons ~ n t e r and intraspecific differences may be due to life h~story diet and suscept~bil~ t y to predation K E Y WORDS: Zooplankton .
