Abundance horizontal distribution of Paracandacia (= Candacia) bispinosa: non-random spatial structure.
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.

For Grice (1962, p.235) this species, C. simplex Giesbrecht and C. truncata Dana, differ in a few details. It has been suggested by Sars (1903) that these three species may have to be removed from the genus Candacia.
For Acha & al. (2020) this species is observed on Northern shelfbreak in front of Rio de La Plata (Argentina).
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the Itoh's index value = 4347.8 (number of teeth: 2).
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.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 2 corresponding to small ambush feeding carnivorous.
