Distribution map of Oithona hamata by geographical zones
Species Oithona hamata - Distribution map 3Issued from : S. Nishida in Bull. Ocean Res. Inst., Univ. Tokyo, 1985, No 20. [p.132, Fig.81].
Indo-Pacific geographical distribution of Oithona hamata.
Loc:
Atlant. (equatorial), G. of Guinea, off Amazon, off Cape Cod, off SE New York, Medit. (Alboran Sea, W Basin, G. of Saronikos, Lebanon Basin), Arabian Gulf, Indian (equatorial), China Seas (Yellow Sea), S Korea (Cheju Is.), Pacif. (tropical), Chile (in Björnberg, 1973)
N: 10
Lg.:
(627) F: 1,35-1,29; (649) F: 1,06; (880) F: 1,06-1,1; {F: 1,06-1,35}
Rem.: epiplagic.
For Nishida (1985, p.49) the specimens agree with Rosendorn's (1917) description except for the presence of inner marginal seta on exopodal segment 1 of P1-P4 in the former. The species is distinguished from closely allied O. tenuis by the shape of rostrum and the absence of inner marginal seta on the basal segment of A2.
