Vertical distribution, gut fullness and gut contents were investigated on an aetideid copepod Gaetanus variabilis during winter at a station in the southern Japan Sea. Most indi- viduals of C3-C6 (adult) G. variabilis were distributed between 500 and 1000 m depth. While early copepodid stages resided deeper than older ones, no diel vertical migration was detected throughout the copepodid stages. Feeding activity of G. variabilis as judged by gut fullness scores varied with developmental stage/sex, but no diel feeding rhythm was observed. Adult males ceasefeeding as a reflection of degeneration of their feeding appendages. The gut content analysis showed that G. variabilis is a particle feeder consuming mainly upon silicoflagellates, followed by diatoms, tintinnids and fragments of metazooplankton. An estimated daily ration of G. variabilis population based on calculated metabolic rates was 5.03mg C m~2day"1,which accounts for 4.5%of the local primary production or 54%of particulate organic carbon flux down to the 500m depths at southern Japan Sea.
