Distribution map of Oncaea venusta by geographical zones
Species Oncaea venusta - Distribution map 4issued from : A.A. Shmeleva in Bull. Inst. Oceanogr., Monaco, 1965, 65 (n°1351). [Table 6: 42]. Oncaea venusta (from South Adriatic).
Dimensions, volume and Weight wet. Means for 50-60 specimens. Volume and weight calculated by geometrical method. Assumed that the specific gravity of the Copepod body is equal to 1, then the volume will correspond to the weight.

Attacking behaviors of Oncaea spp. on the body of Sagitta (Chaetognatha). FVL: head trunk in front fins; VG: ventral ganglion; CS: caudal septum

Nota: Direct underwater observations with SCUBA were performed at night. The attack behavior of Oncaea started mostly below the stationary Sagitta in the field. The attack distance at which Oncaea spp. approached Sagitta from below was about 5-6 cm; the attacking behavior from the upper side of Sagitta was observed only occasionally, and the attack distance was about 1-3 cm. This behaviour suggests that Oncaea is not a touch feeder. The attachment sites of Oncaea on the body of Sagitta spp. were for a total of 320 individuals: ventral side 56.3 %, lateral side 32.8 % and dorsal side 10.9 %.
Oncaea crept directly to the chaetognath tail or the head region using their second antennae, and pierced the body of chaetognaths with the long claw of the maxilliped, and moved maxillae and mandibles.
The chaetognaths did not move at all when this copepod was crawling on the body.

Copepods collected from the sea around northern Taiwan and from southern East China Sea extending to the Okinawa Trough, to study possible spatial heterogeneity. The content of the same metal shows considerable variation both intra- and inter-specifically. The metal concentrations in males are higher than in females. Copepod metal quota display spatial variation: coastal water > southern East China Sea > Kuroshio water, suggesting that the metal contents of copepods are influenced by the water quality of their marine environment.

Nota: Fuentes-Reinés & Suarez-Morales (2017, p.516) underline that the species O. venusta is known for its high variability in total body length (ranging from 0.75 to 1.4 mm in the female and from 0.55 to 1.98 mm in the male/ Based on its size range the species has been categorized into 3 groups. Molecular studies could differentiate 4 generic clades where the small and large size groups were separated genetically and both could be deemed as distinct species (see Elvers & al., 2006). Therefore, some authors prefer to designate the group with large size as O. venusta §0.960-1.260 mm) and the smaller forms as O. venella (0.800-0.830 mm)
Rem.: Epi- to mesopelagic, also demersal and semi-parasitic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 400 m. Overall depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). 0-1236 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is, E middle Japan) from Furuhashi (1966 a).
This species presents 2 forms (sub-species?) that are characterised by their dimensions. Sewell (1947) suggests also that their spawning season is different. For this author the forma typica is characterized by: The proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body as 59 : 41, and the length and breadth of the anterior region are as 59 to 29.. The proportional lengths of the segments of the posterior region (5th thoracic segment to caudal rami) as 13 : 46: 7: 7: 9 : 18. In the forma venellaThe proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body as 60 to 40, and the length and breadth of the anterior region as 60 to 24. The proportional lengths of the segments of the posterior region (5th thoracic segment to caudal rami) as 13 : 43 : 7 : 8 : 9: 20 = 100. The proportions of the caudal rami are as 23 to 6.
For Tanaka (1960, p.71) the two forrms : large and small, are present in his material. Female: The proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body are as 57 to 43. The anterior region is 1.7 times as long as wide (63 : 37). The proportional lengths of the segments of the posterior region (caudal rami included) as 13 : 48 : 5 : 5 : 9 : 20 = 100. Caudal rami 4 times as long as broad.
Heron (2002) considers the two varieties O. venusta typica and O. venusta venella as two species (see remarks in Oncaea venella and frosti), position objected to by Böttger-Schnack & Huys (2004).
After KazKazmi (2004, p.232), although free living and pelagic, the species has been found on fish gills (Kazatchenko & Adeev, 1977) or in a sponge (Ho, 1984) and now from the sand (Kazmi & Naushaba, 2000).
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
