Data from Chisholm & Roff (1990), Webber (1993), Hopcroft & Roff (unpubl.).
Nota: Growth increments for the commonest species in the harbour and off Discovery Bay (Jamaica) were calculated by 2 methods. In the harbour, change in naupliar size and volume over time bwas measured directly from enclosure studies (R. R. Hopcroft & J.C. Roff unpubl.) using the digitising system of Roff & Hopcroft (1986). Dry mass was calculated from relationships of Lawrence & al. (1987). For oceanic waters, consecutive naupliar stages of 12 common species off Discovery bay were digitisede from scaled drawings and volumes calculated. These data were then used with moulting rates to yield growthb rates from:
g = 1/D ln (Vs+1/Vs) or g = 1/D ln (Ms+1/Ms
where D = moulting rate in days; M = dry mass of nauplius; V = volume of nauplius; development stage.
A daily specific growth rate (G) was then derived from : G = e sup>g - 1. (Ms+1/Ms). |

Epi-mesopelagic-bathypelagic.
Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-1000 m. 0-3010 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is, E middle Japan) from Furuhashi (1966 a).
Gurney (1927, p.158) attributed this species, which occurs in Suez Bay, to O. plumifera in spite of no trace of the plumose setae which are characteristic of it. In every case the seta of the baipodite of the legs is smooth. Farran (1913, p.183) mentions that some among his Christmas Island specimens lacked the feathering of these setae (probably broken off). Generally this feathering is said to be coloured red, but it may be colourless. In all other respects this form differs from O. spinirostris, with which it might be confused, in having 3 setae only on the endopod of the Md and also in the length of the seta on the endopod of Mx1. O. tenuis Rosendorn (1917) does not seem to differ from O. plumifera in any essential character except in having only 2 setae of endopod of Md.
Sewell (1947, p.255, female) notes: The proportional lengths of the segments of the posterior region (Th 5 to caudal rami) as 12 : 31 : 16: 17 : 14:10 = 100. The segments of A1 are fringed with small spinules. In some ot the specimens the plumose setae arising from the swimming legs are present, but in others they were either present only on the anterior two pairs of legs or were apparently absent altogether. It seems probable that the plumose termination is a variable character and my in some cases wanting.
Nishida (1985, p.71) reports that O. plumifera is clearly distinguished from O. atlantica by trhe presence of a ventral tuft of setules on genital segment (noticed by Rosendorn, 1917, but overlooked by Farran and Früchtl), and the curved marginal spine of the exopodal segment 3 of P4. O. tenuis is distinct from O. plumifera in having 1 inner marginal seta on the exopod of P2-P4. Olson (1949) described a second short seta on the free segment of P5 in some specimens from California coast; this character has not been reported by any other workers. After Björnberg (1963, p.74) this form is one of the most common species.
Tanaka (1960, p.62) had observed a female specimen from a fresh water in Okino Erabu Shima (Anami Is., Japan) of body size 1.13 mm.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 6 corresponding to small ambush feeding omnivorous.
