TLDR
In this paper, the density of a lipid mixture composed of nearly 85% wax esters and isolated from the copepod Calanus plumchrus was determined at 5.13, 14.49, and 23.54°C and at pressures up to 783 bars.About:

Lipid storage in marine zooplankton
TL;DR: The various functions storage lipids serve during the life history stages of zooplankton are very complex and still not fully understood and hence offer a multitude of fascinating research perspectives.

Eat and run? The hunger/satiation hypothesis in vertical migration: history, evidence and consequences
TL;DR: This review examines evidence for individual vertical movements gathered from ‘tracers ‘, mainly gut contents, and reviews the evidence for the hypothesis that such movements are in fact driven by hunger and satiation.

The lipid biochemistry of calanoid copepods
TL;DR: The role of wax esters in the life history of calanoids is illustrated with particular reference to a comparison of Calanus finmarchicus and Metridia longa in Balsfjord, northern Norway.

Review and recommendations for the modelling of acoustic scattering by fluid-like elongated zooplankton: euphausiids and copepods
Timothy K. Stanton,Dezhang Chu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a modeling study using a wide range of models, ranging from simple to complex representation of the animals, a synthesis of previously published laboratory scattering data from a variety of sources, and laboratory data presented for the first time.

Sound Scattering from a Fluid Sphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the scattering of sound from a spherical fluid obstacle of size comparable to a wave length is considered, neglecting dissipation, and the acoustic pressure and total energy in the scattered wave are presented graphically; sound velocities and densities of the sphere lie between 0.5 and 2.0 times that of the external medium.

Distribution and importance of wax esters in marine copepods and other zooplankton
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of marine copepods was performed from known depth intervals in opening-closing nets and in midwater trawls to 2500m at a station in the subtropical Pacific.

Reanalysis of the density of liquid water in the range 0–150 °C and 0–1 kbar
G. S. Kell,E. Whalley +1 more
TL;DR: The change of density of liquid water under pressure has been calculated from the speed of sound u by fitting u−2 as a polynomial in temperature and pressure, integrating with respect to pressure, and allowing for the difference between isothermal and adiabatic compressions as mentioned in this paper.
