Rem.: epipelagic. For Frost & Fleminger (1968, p.34) females of C. mastigophorus differ from the other Group I females in the form of the seminal receptacle in lateral view. In addition, C. mastigophorus is distinguished from lividus and ingens by the shape of the frontal region of the anterior portion of body including the cephalosome and fused thoracic segment bearing P1 (C-T1) and the form of the rostrum in lateral view. C. mastigophorus is distinguished from laticeps by the shape of the frontal region of the C-T1 in lateral and dorsal view, the Prosome/Urosome length ratio, the length-width ratio of the caudal ramus, and the shape and spacing of basipodite 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3. Males of C. mastigophorus and lividus can be separated by the Prosome/Urosome, Prosome/Urosomal segment 2, Urosomal segment 2/ 2nd segment of P5, and Urosomal segment 2/3rd segment of P5 length ratios. C. laticeps male is distinct from mastigophorus in the Prosome/Urosomal segment 2 length ratio, the length-width ratio of the caudal ramus, and the form of basipodite 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3.
See in annex (in Razouls, 1972, p.30-32) the comparisons between the females of this species and Clausocalanus lividus, notably the variability of the rostrum (figs.31 and 33).
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 fine-filter feeder.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
