Species Centropages chierchiae - Distribution map 4issued from : J.A. Lindley & S. Daykin in ICES Journal. Mar. Sc., 2005, 62. [p.871, Fig.1].
The geographical distribution of occurrences of Centropages chierchiae in CPR samples east of 20°W in the years 1959-1977, 1978-1987, and 1988-2000. Note that the Iberian coastal waters south of 42°N were only sampled from 1978 to 1986 and from 1997 onwards and the Bay of Biscay east of the line between Ushant and Cape Finisterre was sampled only on a few occasions in 1958 and 1959 and regularly from mid-1997 onwards.

Spatial distribution and T-S Diagram for Centropages chierchiae from 8° S - 26° N; 16°- 20° W for different expeditions (V1: Dec. 1972-Jan. 1973; V2: Feb./mar. 1973; VI: May 1974; IV: Jun./Jul. 1972).

SO: Southern Surface Water (S °/oo: 34,50; T°C: 29,0); ND: Northern Water of the Surface Layer (S °/oo: 37,5; T°C: 21,0); SD: Southern Deep Water of the surface layer (S °/oo: 35,33; T°C: 13,4). See commentary in Temora stylifera and Brenning (1985 a, p.6).

Nota: Taking into account the seasonal temperature variations, the number of generations to be expected in a given region when the duration of upwelling in the region concerned is known, we have: 10-11 generations at Nouachott (Mauritania), ± 8 at Cap Vert (Dakar) and 3-4 at Cap Roxo (Casamance).

Species Centropages chierchiae - Distribution map 7issued from : J.-P. Ehrhardt in Cah. Oceanogr., 1967 (9). [Fig.16].
Occurrence of Centropages chierchiae collected at 7 stations on 39 stations between the southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Tunisia-Sardinia Strait and Cap Bon-west Sicily , only the might in superficial water.

Nota (p.888, 894): The species represents 19.6 % of adult copepods mainly in the Strait zone, in the waters from salinity between 37.22 and 38.41 p.1000 (more frequently between 37.57-37.67), and between 4.55-5.91 cm3/l oxygen (more frequently between 5.04-5.60 cm3/l), probably under infuence of the atlantic water superficial current.
