Some authors do not recognize the identity of the male of this species.
This species can be confused with X. borealis. Bradford & al. (1983, p.60) underline that Matthews (1964) made a few observations on the life history of this species in Norwegian waters: the scarcity of nauplii in samples and the early appearance of young copepodites after an increase in males suggests the naupliar phase in short; it is possible that the number of stages is reduced since a narrow range of naupliar structure was observed; it appears the nauplii do not feed, as the yolk supply persists until the first copepodite stage. The annual life cycle consists of 3 main breeding seasons beginning in February, June and October, which results in peaks of young copepodites in March, August and September. The August peak is greatest, and after each peak the abundance of males falls rapidly. The adult male does not feed and has only a short life. | | | Last update : 08/04/2021 | |
