The seasonal and bathymetrical distribution of Mesocyclops leuckarti (Claus) was investigated during 1969-1975. Development time of egg, naupliar and copepodite stages were found experimentally at three temperatures (15° 22°and 27°C) . The calculations of population dynamics generated some unexplained results.
Experimental study of the influence of light-dark conditions and temperature on the process of laying and hatching, together with the field data, helped us to describe an artifact when sampling is done at early morning.
