Distribution map of Microsetella norvegica by geographical zones
Species Microsetella norvegica - Distribution map 4issued from : P. Jespersen, 1939 in Meddr Grønland, 1939, 119 (9). [p.74, Fig. 32].
The occurrence of Microsetella norvegica at the ''Dana'' stations 1932-1933.
black circles: positive occurrence, vry abundant; white circle: rare or very rare; x: negative occurrence.
Species Microsetella norvegica - Distribution map 5Issued from : M. Anraku in Mar. Biol., 1975, 30. [p.82, Figs. 1, 2].
Distribution of hydrological factors and abundance of Microsetella norvegica in Oshoro Bay (west Hokkaido, Japan), 30 August 1958, along vertical section from stations 1 to 5 (distance 650 m).

Nota: The plankton samples were collected by means of a plankton pump during the morning hours at the same time as the hydrological observations. Copepodids and adults were counted ans expressed as number of individuals per 20 l.
The distribution of copepods in a limited area seems to be related to the pattern of oceanographic conditions to some extent, but a pattern of contagious distribution is also apparent. See Barnes & Marshall (1951) ; Cassie (1959) ; Boyd (1973).

Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-600 m.
Sometimes in brackish water (Chilka Lake in Sewell, 1924; Casamance estuary).
According to Yamazi (1958) the species is common in winter and spring in Tanabe Bay (Japan).
Evans & Diaz (1978, p.313 )underline the direct relationship between the size and the temperature in the North Sea.
This form is well represented over the entire length of the Suez Canal.
Observed in ballasts of ships at San Francisco.
