Distribution map of Farranula rostrata by geographical zones
Species Farranula rostrata - Distribution map 3issued from : T.S.K. Björnberg in Bol. Inst. Oceanogr., Sao Paulo, 1963, XIII (1). [p.87, Fig.48].
Probability of occurrence of Corycella (= Farranul ropstrata in different environments.
T: Tropical waters (above 36.00 p.1000 salinity and above 20°C temperature); SST: Surface subtropical waters (salinity around 36 p.1000 and temperature 18°C or less); DST: Deeper shelf waters (salinity between 34 and 36, temperature under 20°C p.1000); SS: Surface shelf waters (same salinity and temperature above 20°C);
C: coastal waters with low salinity and variable temperature.

In each column no shading means no probability of finding the species in the samples from this environment; horizontal shading indicates the probability of finding the sepecies in percentages less than one in samples from this environment; cross shading indicates the probability of finding it in percentages higher than one and black shading represents the probability of finding it in the largest percentages of the total number of copepods.

The female size furnished by Lapernat (1999): 1,70 mm appears very high.
Rem.: Sub-surface, (off Malta: sample at 2000 m). Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
This species occurs essentially in the tropical Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, the citations from the Indian Ocean refer only to the SW, the species is still scarcer in the Sino-Japanese waters.
The reports from the Pacific concern SE Australia, New Zealand (Farran, 1929, Jillet 1971), the other findings from the Indo-Pacific are due to C.B. Wilson (1942 a, 1950).
Vidjak & Bojanic, 2009 (p.435, Table II, IV, V) record the occurrence F. rostrata f. longa Klevenhusen (1933) in the surface layer in the middle Adriatic Sea (Body length measured in lateral position: F = 0.733-0.786; M = 0.685-0.948).
In Brazilian waters, after Björnberg (1963, p.87) the sepecies is absent in samples from warm saline waters, this copepod replaces F. gracilis in the cool very saline surface subtropical waters (under 21°C and above 35.5 p.1000); it is rarely present in deep shelf water or in tropical waters and not at all in the surface shelf and coastal waters. A good indicator of surface very saline waters of temperatures between 16 and 18°C when in large numbers off the coast of Brazil and in other Atlantic waters and off New Zealand.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 1 corresponding to large sac-spawning carnivorous.
