Nota: The eggs of P. latisetosa are polymorphic, but it was not possible assign different reproductive meanings to all types. Eggs of three morphological types and at least two biological meanings were obtained from adult specimens under laboratory conditions.
Two types (smooth and brush-like) were subitaneous eggs. A third <> type rested for at least 50 days before hatching and was considered diapausal.

Types and number of eggs produced during the investigation period by reared females of Paracartia latisetosa from Acquatina brackish water lake (Italian coast of the Adriatic Sea); From after 20 January 2004 to 4 May 2004 (excluded) sampling was not carried out. From 23 November 2004 to 28 December 2004, the population of P. latisetosa was absent from the water column.

Nota: During the whole investigation period, 329 females were reared, 229 of them (69.6%) produced eggs. A total of 1037 eggs were obtained. The average egg production was 3.15 ± 3.11 eggs by female and by day (4.52 ± 2.77 eggs fecund by female and by day).
Egg production varied considerably during the year (from 0.45 ± 1.06 eggs/female/day in May 2004 to 6.5 ± 2.12 eggs/female/day in August 2004).
Three morphological types of eggs were produced (in Table1). Both smooth and brush eggs which did not hatch were observed to be discoloured and to disintegrate in a short time; these were presumed to be unfertilized or non viable (abortive). The majority of both smooth and brush eggs hatched during the first week of incubation; so they were considered to be subitaneous eggs. UInstead, hatching of spiny eggs occurred after an incubation of at least 54 days, thus these eggs were considered to be diapausal.
Diapause eggs were produced only in Autumn (September-early January), before the species disappears from the water column. In both the sampling periods, the production of diapause eggs occurred under a short-day regime, that is when the photoperiod varied from about 12L : 12D (September) to 9L : 15D (early January). The peak of diapause egg production occurred in October.
The conversion in the production of eggs types (i.e. from subitaneous to diapause eggs) was never complete, it did not affect all the females of the same generation, and both egg types were present even in the same clutch.

Linear regression analysis between dormancy, days of diapausal eggs and photoperiod for the day of their production.
Sanpling dates are reported between brackets.

Regression analysis shows that the diapause duration is positively correlated with photoperiod length at the time of collection of the adults.

Rem.: Coast, littoral lagoons. Euyhaline
Species is apparently strongly oligohaline.
Certain authors (Rose, 1925 e, p. 305) identify as different the two species verrucosa and latisetosa and do not follow the synonymy established by Giesbrecht & Schmeil (1898).
For Gurney (1927, p.156), this species is a purely Mediterranean and Black Sea littoral form wich is distinctly euryhaline, and may occur in water which is almost fresh, as for instance, in Garaa Ackeul (NE Tunisia). It is abundant in Lake Menzaleh and also in the channel leading to Port Said.
After Gubanova & al. (2013, p.4) the species was bundant on the coastal areas of the Black Sea but now disappeared completely from the Black Sea in relation with strong eutrophisation and pollution in the coastal areas. It can be supposed that A. tonsa replaced the native P. latisetosa, because these species occupied the same ecological niche, but the alien A. tonsa was apparently more resistant to eutrophisation. and pollution than P. latisetosa.
