A study of the life history of the cyclopoid copepod Cyclops scutifer Sars in a small lake of the Matamek River System, Quebec, indicates a 1-year life cycle with four cohorts produced annually. The primary cohort overwinters as early nauplii and reaches maturity during midsummer when it spawns the primary cohort of the succeeding year. The other cohorts may merge with either each other or the primary cohort and contribute somewhat less to the overall cycle. Slower development of copepodites of the second cohort in 1976 may have been the result of an inadequate number of naupliar prey from the calanoid copepod Diaptomus minutus.
