Nota: Does exist an effect of the southern portion of the continent of South Africa as a barrier to the mixing of warm water Atlantic and Indo-Pacific pelagic copepods ? According to Sewell (1948) two questions seemed to have been considered: 1- Does warm, tropical water from the Aghulhas Stream of the south-western Indian Ocean enter the Atlantic after rounding the Cape of Good Hope, and 2- if this takes place, do the tropical copepods from the Indian Ocean survive and enter the gene pool of their Atlantic counterparts ? Sewell listed 138 species be considered to be "Indo-Pacific species", which also are found in the Atlantic; from this he concluded that the African continent does not form an effective barrier to the mixing of populations of the two oceans. For Steuer (1928) concluded it is likely that Africa forms an effective barrier most the time but occasionally, under certain circonstances, this barrier is broken down. He believed that Indian Ocean populations carried to the Atlantic generally did not survive there. DeDecker (1964) stated that Indo-Pacific copepods carried by the Agulhas Current disappeared over the Agulhas Bank were seldom if ever carried further west.
The evidence of morphological differences between the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific populations in Candacia pachydactyla suggests a high degree of isolation between those populations. The Benguela Current appears to constitute an additional barrier to Indo-Pacific individuals mixing between the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific populations. No consistent differences were found between samples from the Indian Ocean and the central Pacific; likewise, none were founded between the Atlantic samples; however, differences between Atlantic and Indo-Pacific populations were consistent (see figures). The conclusion that populations in the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific are separated by the barrier of southern Africa is also supported by distribution records of certain other species within the family Candaciidae. Two other Pacific equatorial species, C. catula and C. truncata, are not found in 1963 (see Grice, 1963), and since exceptionally in the west part of the Cape of Good Hope. |

Samples collected with a Longhurst-Hardy Plankton Recorder (LHPR) in the northern Sargasso Sea (34°10'N; 71°35'W) at three depth stata.
Nota: The pattern reveal that dominant variations occurred on scales of tens to hundreds of meters. The fluctuations in abundance are evident on different scales simultaneously.
After the authors, the abundance of species was not significantly nor consistently correlated to either temperature or alinity on the scales resolved by the tows, thus the LHPR data indicate that the physical environment or depth changes along the horizontal tows, was not, in general, a direct causative factor for the patterns observed. |

The mean female size is 2.652 mm (n = 38; SD = 0.3387), and the mean male size is 2.572 mm (n = 37; SD = 0.3336). The size ratio (male : female) is about 0.97. | | | | Rem.: | epi- bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
After C.B. Wilson (1950, p.182) Dana's original specimens came mostly from the southern Atlantic, with a few from the China Sea; he gave the color as ''smoky with black bands about the cephalothorax; the extremities of the antennae and some of the natatory legs black. There are still traces of this coloration in the Albatross specimens after 30 years' preservation.
According to Sewell (1912, p.368) this species was rare in the Bay of Bengal)
Jones (1966 b) distinguishes two forms with distinct morphological characters: the first Indo-Pacific, the second Atlantic. This author emphasizes the role of the geographical barrier formed by South Africa. For Sewell (1912, p.368) the species was rare in the Bay of Bengal.
For Yamazi (1958, p.151) this species is very rare, mainly in warm season.
For Björnberg (1963, p.55) this species is euryhaline, but preferring the higher salinities (35 p.1000 and above) and thermophile.
After Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, co-ordinates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 2345, and for Gaudy & Boucher (1983) : 2360.
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 a piercing and sucking carnivorous.
