A production model for the herbivorous arctic copepod Calanus glacialis is presented. The model combines data on growth rates obtained from energy balance studies with population structure data gathered during the arctic productive period. A 2 yr life cycle suggests that the species is present in the plankton as 2 main year classes, thus enabling it to utilize the short annual spring bloom during both spawning and the intensive growth period from CIV to CV This pattern of life cycle should reduce the probability of food limitation during spawning and during periods of high lipid deposition as from CIV to CV A tentative assessment of total annual production is calculated to 8.4 g C m-' with a maximum of 0.16 g C m-2 d-' during August. PIB ratios calculated from balance experiments ranged from 0.03 to 0.05 during July. Results from sensitivity analysis are presented in order to highlight especially important ecological aspects of this species in the arctic environment.
