Nota: The fine lateral setule present in the axil of the outer margin spine on P5 has been reported previously in both the male and female by several authors; this setule is not illustrated in either sex by Sars (1921) or in the male by Chappuis (1936) and Giesbrecht (1892), it is probable that the setule has been overlooked by the latter authors; it was even found to be present in both morphs of male studied by Haq (1965).

Map 9 Issued from : H.W. Neunes & G.-F. Pongolini in Nature, 1965, 6. [p.572, Table 1].
Duration of larval stages of Euterpina acutifrons in single culture at 18°C; individuals collected in the Ligurian Sea (La Spezia Laboratory)

The average time for the completion of larval development (egg to adult) is between 17 and 18 days. This is not very different from records of other copepod species reared under similar conditions. If we assume a period of about 3 days for the time between emergence as an adult and hatching of its first eggs, a generation of Euterpina, under the conditions described, averages 20-21 days.
Natural sea-water served as basis for the culture media. EDTA in a concentration of 37 mg/l (= 10^-4 mol.) was added as a complexing agent. As antibiotics, penicillin and streptomycin were used alternately. A suspension of a mixture of the flagellates and diatom was added as food. Bacterial growth was determined.

Remarks

Mainly inshore, coastal, estuarine.
The species is observed only very occasionally in the open sea (like for example up till the Algulhas Basin by 44° S having as its origin the South African coasts).
Non Antarctic and Arctic;
Oddly, I have not been able to find the references concerning the north-eastern coasts of North America.
The species is very abundant all along the Suez canal.
After Yamazi (1958, p.154) the species is common all the year round in Tanabe Bay (Japan).
Ohtsuka & Nishida point to in the Inlet and brackish waters on the main islands of Japan, this species is dominant.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
