Distribution map of Vettoria granulosa by geographical zones
Species Vettoria granulosa - Distribution map 3issued from : A.A. Shmeleva in Bull. Inst. Oceanogr., Monaco, 1965, 65 (n°1351). [Table 6: 46]. As Corina granulosa (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.
Loc:
South Africa, off Mauritania, Canary Is., off Madeira, Brazil, Barbados Is., Caribbean Colombia (Tayrona), Sargasso Sea, off Bermuda (Station "S"), off NE Bermuda, off W Ireland, Bay of Biscay, Baie Ibero-moroccan Bay, Medit. (Alboran Sea, Gulf of Annaba, Banyuls, Thau Lagoon, Marseille, Monaco, Ligurian Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, Lake Faro (Sicily), Gulf of Taranto, Taranto Harbour, Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea, Aegean Sea, Lebanon Basin), Red Sea, Bab al Mandab, SW Indian, Philippines, China Seas (South China Sea), S Japan, Pacif. (tropical central), off Galapagos, Peru, Chile (N-S, off Santiago)

(24) F: 0,85; (38) F: 0,8-0,68; (46) F: 0,68; (109) F: 0,7; (707) M: 0,6-0,58; (708) M: ± 0,70; (709): F: 0,75-0,69; (977) F: 0,68; M: 0,71; {F: 0,68-0,85; M: 0,58-0,71}
Rem.: epi-mesopelagic. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
According to Hure & Scotto di Carlo (1967, p.292) some forms show a neoteny explaining the differences in the number of abdominal segments females (2 or 3 segments) and on A1 (5 or 6 segments).
Rose & vaissière ((1952) 1953, p.19) observe that certain females have a number of abdominal segments corresponding to the specimen of Giesbrecht (1892, Taf.50, figs.53, 54), but that others have an additional segment between the genital segment and anal segment. A1 presents 5 segments in Giesbrecht and more numerous setae while for the individuals from the Bay of Alger the number of segments is 6 and the setae less numerous.
