Acrocalanus longicornis plumulosus Sewell,1912
Ref.: Sewell, 1912 (p.359); Früchtl, 1923 (p.456); Silas, 1972 (p.646) Loc.: NE Gulf of Bengal.
After Björnberg (1963, p.31) this species occurred in Brazilian samples of very warm and very saline waters (temperatures above 25°C, salinities above 36.00 p.1000). It diminished in frequency and percentage in colder very saline waters (temperatures under 25°C). It was not present in samples from colder (under 20°C) or deep water layers.
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.
