Samples taken with net (mesh aperture 300µm), surface hauls taken during 10 min, day time, in December 1976.
Species diversity were calculated using three indices (Fisher & al.1943; Margalef, 1960; Shannon & Weaver, 1963) for each of the different locations in the sea surrounding atolls compared to lagoons.
Only four species of copepods shown in the Table 3 on total 23 species + 7 spp.

Cosmopolitan tropical, subtropical and temperate (limited by latitudes 40° N & S). For Acha & al. (2020) this species is observed on shelfbreak in front of Rio de La Plata (Argentina).
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value from mandibular gnathobase = 1150.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is omnivorous.
For Mulyadi (2004, p.151) this species is an inhabitant of the open ocean (stenohaline marine).
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 4 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous and mixed feeding omnivorous (mostly broadcasters).
