Light microscopy in Fig.1 B; Scanning electron microscopy photograph in D and fig.2.
Nota: The mechanical disturbance of the live specimens kept in seawater failled to excite luminescence from the copepods. No autofluorescence was observed from the caudal glands of live specimens under UV excitation. Alternative possible functions include secretion of defensive substances (predator avoidance) or substances that might enhance swarm formation and/or the possible functions of the glands for egg and sex pheromone. A survey of preserved copepod collections indicated presence of similar glands in others species in Calanus, Cosmocalanus, Mesocalanus and Nannocalanus genera.


Species Calanus sinicus - Plate 17 of morphological figuresissued from : H. Toda & E. Hirose Scanning electron micrographs of two types of Calanus sinicus eggs.
E-G: egg A-type; F-H: egg B-type.

Nota: Egg A-type:(diameter: average 0.175 mm, range = 0.157-0.187, C/N ratio : 4.6). Egg B-type: diameter: 0.165 mm, range = 0.158-0.173, C/N ratio: 5.10.
Both types of eggs started to develop immediately after release, and hatched into nauplii within one day;
A-type eggs observed were similar to the eggs of Calanus from Tromsø reported by marshall & Orr (1955), whereas B-type eggs resembled those of calanus helgolandicus. The bulky blister observed in A-type eggs would correspond to the outer membrane mentioned in their book.. No intermediate form of eggs between these two types appear.

Monthly change in geographical distribution of copepodites and adults in Kii Channel and its neighboring waters (Inland Sea of Japan to the Pacific Ocean).
Nota: In the Inland Sea of Japan, this species is the second most important component following Paracalanus sp. in terms of biomass and production (see in Uye & al., 1986). The species occurred throughout the year in the study area. This means that the reproduction takes place continuously and the population is devoid of diapause in the seasonal life cycle. This species is regarded as one of the most important components of zooplankton in the shelf waters by virtue of its enormous abundance and large body size, and plays a significant role in the conversion of primary production into diet for carnivores, including fishes.

Annual cycle of temperature (T °C), different classes of size of prosome of adult females (D), prosome mean lengths of adult females (Lg) at Xiamen Harbour during November 1979 to June 1980.

Nota: It is concuded from analysis of the age composition, adult sexual ratio and female cephalothorax lengths that there is three main breeding periods, i-e 3 generations in the harbour (Dec.-mid-Feb., end of Mar.-Apr. and Mid-May, respectively.
The first generation was reproduced by the immigrating population in the coastal current in winter, the 2nd generation was produced by the previous generation in spring and the 3rd generation's nauplii disappeared at the begining of June.
Water temperature (T) seems to be dominant factor affecting generation lengths and female cephalothorax lengths (Lg). A negative relationship was found between T & Lg. Lg = - 0.0666 T + 3.3718 with r = - 0.8764.

Depth ranges experienced during early life stages (from egg to nauplius; dotted line).

Nota: Yoshiki & al. (2006) previously examined the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the egg development time and hatching success of calanus sinicus. Although egg development time was not influenced by hydrostatic pressure, the egg hatching success rate decreased with increasing pressure. Unhatched eggs were still alive after being removed from the pressure chamber after exposure to elevated pressure, and they subsequently died without hatching even though nauplii had formed in the eggs. Also, even when eggs hatched under high-pressure conditions, most nauplii showed abnormalities (Yoshiki & al., 2006; 2008).

Calanus sinicus. The gonad development stages (GS1-4C) of females at sampling stations E6 and P1.
GS4 represented mature gonads of females, subdivided into three new categories GS4A, GS4B and GS4C.

Nota: Most females at station E6 were immature and more females at station P1 were mature, they shared similar expression patterns of the gene VgR. Similar to decapods, two phases of vitellogenesis occur in copepods (See in Arnaud & al., 1982; Niehoff, 2007; Tiu & al., 2008; Thongda & al., 2015; Tiu & al., 2008; Roth & Khalaila, 2012; Klinbunga & al., 2015). Thus, the up-regulation of VgR expression of females at station E6 could suggest preparation for gonad maturity.
Favorable food conditions could support the final maturity of females, whereas the limited food would suppress gonad developme,t (Zhang & al., 2007; Wang and al., 2009)

Conclusion after Zhou & al. (p.560): << The physiological status of C5 stage and females of C. sinicus inside and outside the Yellow Sea Cold Water mass (16 August to 1 September 2013) in terms of their morphology, metabolic rate and gene expression patterns is shown for the first time.
A large oil sac, low metabolic rate, suppressed molting development and high expression of ferritin indicated that C5stage inside the Yellow Sea Cold water mass were in a quiescent stage, while females were not. During over-summering, C5stage up-regulated ferritin expression and down-regulated EcR to suppress development.
The stable environmental conditions inside the Yellow Sea Cild water Mass (i-e. low temperature and limited food supply) enabled the C5stage to remain quiescent. The C5stage near the edge of the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass were in an intermediate state between quiescent and active. The elevated food conditions near the edge might trigger the arousal of the quiescent C5stage. These differences in the physiological processes and the associated gene expression patterns between quiescent and active copepods and their correlations with environmental factors provide a foundation for future studies of the dormancy of copepods >>.

Rem.: For Hulsemann (1994, p.1468-1469) the type specimens of C. syunpuensis are no available for re-examination. Thus conspecificity with C. sinicus cannot be proven. Consequently, it is proposed that C. sympuensis Kurasige, 1931, be treated as a nomen dubium. the species of Kurasige are stage V copepodids. However, in the description of C. syunpuensis the body length is given as 4-5.5 mm. This length is twice that reported for stage V copepodids of C. sinicus, which range between 2.10 and 2.70. If the length stated by Kurasige were due to an error in scale, the two species would be considered conspecific.
For Hulsemann (1994, p.1469) this species resembles C. jashnovi , but differs in several features: 1- Total length; 2- Length of A1; in C. sinicus females A1 reaches the end of the caudal rami of 2 segments beyond; that of C. jashnovi females reaches only to the distal end of urosomal segment 3; 3- The forehead of C. sinicus is somewhat higher and more narrowly vaulted than that of C. jashnovi, which is recognisable in lateral and dorsal view; 4 - In dorsal view the genital segment of females of C. sinicus is about as long as wide (length : width ratio 0.93-1.07, mean = 1.00; in C. jashnovi it strongly bulges laterally and is slightly wider than long (length : width ratio 0.84-0.92, mean 0.88); the orientation of the spermathecae is nearly horizontal and they appear relatively elongate in ventral view in C. sinicus; 5- Differences in the number of integumental perforations are found in the genital and the 2nd urosomal segment of females; one mid-dorsal site on both is typically present in C. jashnovi, but lacking in C. sinicus; 6- In the left P5 males, the 1st and 2nd exopodal segments of C. jashnovi are relatively wider than in C. sinicus; The relative length of the 1st basal segment of the right P5 of C. jashnovi is slightly shorter than in C. sinicus when compared to the prosome length (see fig.17). The number of teeth on the inner margin of the 1st basipodal segment in the male P5 reflects the geographical division of Pacific and southern members of Calanus s. str. (Table 2); the populations of C. pacificus show the highest number of teeth, those of C. sinicus and C. jashnovi show an intermediate number, and the southern species show the lowest numbers of teeth.
See Remarks in Calanus agulhensis after Cheng F. & al. (2013, p.125).
After Yin & al. (2011, p.1451) C. sinicus prefers warm temperatures and is one of the most dominant species in the inshore waters of both the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. It may be transported northeasterly to both the east and west coasts of Honshu in Japan or southerly to the north coastal waters of the South China Sea (SCS). Throughout the year, C. sinicus was distributed in the northern and central regions of the Taiwan Strait and its connected northern seas. The species appears seasonally in south of the Taiwan Strait and its connected southern seas and is occasionally transported by coastal currents from the East China Sea during winter and spring. C. sinicus has been considered a biological indicator of the coastal current.
Ohtsuka & Nishida (2017, p.578) point to the Japanese coasts adjacent to the Kuroshio Current are distinguished by warm-water species C. sinicus.
Feeding mode after Barton & al. (2013, Table 1): 'feeding current' (hovering) (see definition in Rem. Centropages typicus).
