Abstract

Abstract. The population ecology and dynamics of Cuprella equilibra were studied in a lagoon estuary of the Northern Adriatic Sea during 1985 to 1986. The breeding activity showed peaks in April and September and a decrease in summer due both to high temperatures and a dystrophic crisis; breeding stops in winter. Females produced more than one brood per year.
