Distribution map of Drepanopus pectinatus by geographical zones
Species Drepanopus pectinatus - Distribution map 3
Chart of 1996
Species Drepanopus pectinatus - Distribution map 4issued from : K. Hulsemann in J. Plankton Res., 1985, 7 (6). [p.921, Table VII].
Distributional records of D. pectinatus (1985).
Species Drepanopus pectinatus - Distribution map 5issued from : W. Vervoort in B.A.N.Z. Antarctic Reseach Expedition, Reports - Ser. B, Vol. III, 1957 [Fig.10].
Chart showing the geographical distribution (white triangle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951).
Loc:
Antarct. (off Station Syowa N : 69° S, 39° 35 E), sub-Antarct. (off I. Crozet N, Is. Kerguelen, I. Heard, I. Campbell), [!? Atlant. N (in Wilson, 1942 a)]
N: 20
Lg.:
(25) F: 2,7-1,8; M: 1,8-1,58; (114) F: 3-2,7; (246) F: 2,57-1,78; {F: 1,78-3,00; M: 1,58-1,80}
Rem.: Neritic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-250 m.
The form reported by Wilson (1942 a, p.17) under this name (at 44 ° N, 33° W) is more probably Drepanopus bungei.
The curve of the P5 female permits to easily distinguish this species from D. forcipatus. In the male , the A1 lacks conspicuous patches of spinules at the base and P5 has a small, 1-segmented endopod on either side.
For the geographic distribution between D. pectinatus and D. forcipatus see remarks to D. forcipatus.
After Bayly (1982, p.170) Tanaka's (1964) records are rather confusing and problematical.
According to Razouls & Razouls (1988, 1990) the fluctuations in the cycles of relative abundance for the different stages copepodites (1 to adults), in association with the significant variations in the sizes of specimens in the various age classeswithin the time series, support the hypothesis that there is a succession of 4 generations in the Morbihan Bay (Kerguelen Islands): 1st generation from October to December (63 days), 2nd generation of December tp mid-February (44 days in 1983 and 49 days in 1984), 3rd generation end-February to mid-April (49 days) and 4th generation April to beginning of September (151 days). Observed pulses of the different cohorts of a given generation result from successive layings by the females on every 5 days in the summer period. Seasonal changes in mean water temperature at the surface (neritic zone) between January 1983 to February 1984 are 7-8°C in subantarctic summer and 2-3°C in subantarctic winter.
The dynamics of coldwater neritic populations, known from subarctic areas, is usually based on 1 generation or a succession of 2 generations. (See Bakke, 1977, Pertsova, 1981, Matthews & al. 1978, Asknes & Magnesen, 1983).
