The nocturnal behavior of Zooplankton is one of the m ost fascinating subjects of plankton literature. The most abundant near-surface Zooplankton catches occur at night and in general the gut content o f m ost o f the species is also higher at night (Stearns, 1986). It has been often suggested that these two features are linked (Gauld, 1951; Sushkina, 1962; Daro, 1980). However, recent papers demonstrate i tha t nocturnal vertical migration is not a fixed behavioral attribute, but can be related to season (Sameoto, 1984; Townsend et al., 1984; Landry and Hassett, 1985; Vidal and Smith, 1986), location (Williams and Lindley, 1980; Williams and Conway, 1984), and physiological events such as breeding or m ating (Endo, 1984; W illiams and Fragopoulu, 1985). In different areas with sim ilar climatic and environm ental conditions, the same species can sim ultaneously show different patterns o f vertical distribution (Sameoto, 1984; Vidal and Smith, 1986). Some tim es the vertical migration behavior is clearly related to the presence o f a thermocline (Sameoto, 1984) and at other tim es not a t all (W illiams and Fragopoulu, 1985; W ishner and Allison, 1986). M ost Zooplankton groups are nocturnal feeders, such as calanoids, cladocerans and cyclopoids (Petipa, 1964; Daro, 1980; Tande and Slagstad, 1982; Baars and Oosterhuis, 1984; Sim ard et al., 1985). N octurnal grazing is not necessarily linked to nocturnal vertical upward m ovem ents or swarming (Mackas and Bohrer, 1976; Nicolajsen et ah, 1983; H ead et al., 1985). Food availability can affect the vertical distribution of Zooplankton in different ways. W hen food is abundant in the upper layer, vertical migrations can be o f high am plitude w ith significant nocturnal feeding (Daro, 1980; 1985), but may cease entirely when food is scarce (Huntley and Brooks, 1982) even when nocturnal feeding still exists (Daro, 1985). In other cases, the disappearance of nocturnal m igration is associated with a disappearance o f diel differences in grazing rates (Lampert and Taylor, 1985). The different hypotheses proposing to explain the benefits o f vertical m igration such as the m etabolic model (Enright, 1977), the predator avoidance m echanism and the feeding-growth m odel (McLaren, 1963; Zaret and Suffem, 1976) seem to apply separately or in com bination depending on the biological or ecological situation. W illiams and Conway (1984) clearly sum m arized the problem: “The copepod (■Calanus helgolandicus) responds to its changing environm ent by exhibiting dif ferent patterns o f behavior, i.e., feeding migrations, egg laying migrations, m i grations which presum ably give a net gain in energy, and non-m igrating patterns which potentially conserve energy.” Ui m DARO: CO PEPOD BEHAVIOR 711
