About 4mm long and almost transparent, with a single eye and fine red antennae running the length of its body, it is a copepod, a type of crustacean noted for being, microgram for microgram, the world's strongest animal. Most creatures higher up the Arctic food chain, including walruses, narwhals and
241:
In my opinion, every single statement here is either way too general, low in information, speculative, only applicable to some copepod species, or flat out wrong. Citing
Kleppel and Bielmayer for generic and speculative statements like this does not do credit on this page, nor on their work.
447:
I'd like to suggest that the word 'continental' in the lead paragraph be replaced with 'terrestrial'. I believe that in ecology 'continental' is usually contrasted with 'insular': contrasting species that are wide spread vs those that can only be found on a particular island or in some other

polar bears, depend on it. To get through the winter, Arctic animals need a lot of fat, which C. glacialis provides. About 70% of its dry weight consists of lipids. Where it lives, on the edge of the sea ice, it can account for up to 80% of zooplankton biomass.
126:
144:
Even in its complete context, in the
Economist article, the meaning of this is rather obscure. How is strength per microgram defined? What does fat content have to do with it? Unless someone can find out what this paragraph means, I recommend removing

The third paragraph of the Water
Supplies subsection has a lot of salient information but is largely without citation. Is there any way we can hunt down some support for those claims? I'll try to get started myself, but it's a big paragraph.
704:
209:
Metals are harmful to most life, this is not particular interesting, and again the citation is gratuitous. This gives undue weight to this aspect - a article on copepods clearly wouldn't list every element that is harmful to it.

This is not true, e.g. salmon lice eat salmon exclusively, you can't get much less diverse than that. Maybe it's true for specific species, but I don't think a blanket statement like this is warranted or informatvie.

Out of such metals, copepods are the most sensitive to silver. This is likely to be due to the fact that silver is not considered an essential nutrient to copepods or other

Many are parasitic on fish, I expect they would mostly go for large animals (i.e. vertebrates). I think there's a worm-like copepod that lives in the noses of crocodiles.
