Geographic distribution of pelagic copepods, or in particular situations (hyperbenthic forms and submarine excavations) in the Mediterranean Sea
by Claude Razouls and Pascale-Emmanuelle Lapernat
Interactive distribution map (Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea)
An inventory of progymnopleans, gymnopleans and podopleans species, pelagic or in situations of particular habitat, is realized from their reports at the origin (1892) until 2019 for the Mediterranean. Their presence in the surrounding seas at the west (tropical and temperate North East Atlantic) and east (Red Sea, Indian Ocean) is noted. The probable origin of Mediterranean species is considered.
Key words: Pelagic Copepods, Mediterranean
