Species Corycaeus (Ditrichocorycaeus) anglicus - Distribution map 7Issued from : M.R. Landry & V.L. Fagerness in Bull. Mar. Sc., 1988, 43 (3) [p.520, Fig. 9].
Swimming speeds and directions of the copepods Tortanus discaudatus, Corycaeus anglicus, Oithona spinifera (= Oithona setigera). See also to Neocalanus cristatus, Euchaeta elongata (= Paraeuchaeta elongata), Calanus pacificus.
Swimming speeds measured as displacement over 2-s time intervals. 0° is up.
Study of the relationships among predation rates, selection patterns, swimming speed and orientation, and morphology of prey sensory and capture appendages.
The mean relative swimming speeds (S) of the predatory copepods and their preferred prey were calculated by the equation (Gerritsen, 1980).
S = [u + v)3 - [u - v)3 / 6uv.
u and v are respectively, the mean swimming speeds (mm/s) of the prey and the predator.

For Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.491) the subgenus (Dahl, 1912) is considered as full generic status pending phylogenetic revision of the whole family at the generic level.
Gardner & Szabo, 1982 (p.98) consider C. affinis a junior synonym of this species.
After us, this species is noted for the first time in the Red Sea by El-Sherif & Aboul Ezz (2000, p.72).
