Swimming speeds measured as displacement over 2-s time intervals. 0° is up.
Study of the relationships among predation rates, selection patterns, swimming speed and orientation, and morphology of prey sensory and capture appendages.
The mean relative swimming speeds (S) of the predatory copepods and their preferred prey were calculated by the equation (Gerritsen, 1980).
S = [u + v)3 - [u - v)3 / 6uv.
u and v are respectively, the mean swimming speeds (mm/s) of the prey and the predator.

Comparison of the predatory characteristics of seven planktonic marine copepods. Oithona spinirostris = Oithona setigera.
F max is the mean, maximum clearance rate measured for the predator feeding on its preferred prey. Prey are developmental stages of common species of planktonic copepods.

Rem.: Epi-mesopelagic-bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). 0-30010 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is., E middle Japan) from Furuhashi (1966 a).
Nishida (1985, p.85) points to an historical account of this species. Farran found that specimens of the Irish coast differed only from the type from the Pacific in having the setae of the basipodites simple and not clavate. Taking into account the size differences, Farran (1929) suggests the existence of two groups.
