Rem.:

The presence of this species in the Levantin Basin (reported, to my knowledge, for the first time by Uysal & al., 2002) may be a result of introduction from the Red Sea (Lessepsian migration).
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a fine-filter feeder.
