Total length - weight relationship in selected copepod species (copepodites I to V and adults) from the eastern sector of the Southern Baltic Sea.

Animals preserved in 4 % formalin and lengths in different copepodites and adults stages measured under stereomicroscope. Volume et weight calculated according to the simplified formula (Chojnacki & al., 1980). The results in fig. 1 present mean Lt (total length values for different developmental stades (nauplii not examined) by season and area.

Rem.: littoral, coastal, more or less brackish (cf. Sewell, 1948, p.324, 367).
Confusions have been possible with A. hongi described in 2000 for the North Pacific (Seas of China, Corea and Japan).
The presence of A. bifilosa remains to confirm in the Pacific, notably in the Chinese Sea (cf. in Shih & Young, 1995 p.66) in spite of its occurrence in the Bo Hai Sea and in Alaska, indicated by Wang et al. (2002, p. 348). Hsiao S.H. & al. (2011, p.487) confirm the occurrence of this species from east Taiwan.
The 5th leg of female may show anomalies (cf. Behrends & al., 1997).
This species may have been introduced into the Mediterranean and the Black Sea by ballast from ships, or correspond to an ice-age relict.
