Summary

J A new Nitrogen Specific Respiration Model has been developed for diapausing stage C5 C. finmarchicus.

J The Model predicts a maximum survival time of four to five months for animals resting in the Western Gulf of Maine.

J Application of the model to animals observed during the summer of 2001 suggests that significant mortality accrues by August.

JPredicted mortality is lower in Jordan than in Wilkinson Basin because animals in Jordan Basin had relatively more lipid reserves.

JSummer mortality is more than offset by large additions to the resting population of smaller, and presumably younger, animals.
