Abstract
Metabolic rates (oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion) of two dominant copepods, Calanoides acutus and Metridia gerlachei, were measured during the austral summer (December 1998 - January 1999), in the marginal ice zone of the Prydz Bay. Their elemental compositions (C and N) were also analyzed through these metabolic experiments. The results showed that C. acutus was 48.4% - 48.6% of dry weight in carbon content and 6.1% - 6.5% of dry weight in nitrogen content.
