Species Eurytemora pacifica - Plate 13 of morphological figuresIssued from : J.-M. Brylinski, L. Courcot, V. David & B. Sautour inBioinv. Rec., 2016, 5. [Fig.2].
Eurytemora pacifica (from Marennes-Oléron Bay, France) (morphological specifications, SEM): A, winged female (ventral view); B, wingless female; E, P5 (posterior view); F, posterior end of thorax and urosome with egg sac of winged female; G, same of winless female.
w = ''wing''; e = egg; es = egg-sac; sp = spermatophore; go = gonopore, th5 = last thoracic somite.

Nota: Rostrum bifurcate with 2 filaments.
- Metasome segments not fused; - Back corners of the last metasome segment with wing-like growth (''winged''), which reach almost to the end of the genital segment. Some female specimens without ''wings'' (wingless).
- Urosome 3-segmented
- Genital double-somite widen in the sides, as long as either of the 2 next segments. Genital antrum armed with 3 thorns and a gutter for spermatophore placement, covered by a central mobile triangular operculum.
- Caudal rami not longer than the 3rd abdominal segment, slightly shorter left.

Distal segment armed with 1 subterminal and 1 apical spine; inner side with numerous setules. Asymmetry is evident in the length of the distal segment and the inner process of the segment 2. In the right leg, the process is shorter with 5-6 teeth, the distal segment is shorter, and the terminal spine almost as long as the last two segments. In the left leg, the process is longer with 7-8 teeth, the terminal segment is bigger and the terminal spine is shorter than the terminal segment.

- Urosome 5-segmented.
Caudal rami equal in length to the last two segments combined.
- P5 asymmetrical, uniramous, 4-segmented. Distal segment elongated and curved on the right leg. Segment 2 of the left leg with inner enlargement. Distal segment usually presented as triangular with a hook. SEM observation showed a concave triangular pallet stoched with bundles of fine setae and with a thorny bludgeon process.

Rem.: Brackish, marine (littoral).
Incomplete data.
After Heron (1964, p.209) specimens of adult females varied considerably in the development of metasomal wings. Specimens without wings appeared with left metasomal lobe slightly larger.
After Heron & Damkaer (1976, Table 2) ratio anal somite/uropod (= caudal rami) 8/9; with female metasomal wings, not in male.
For Brylinski & al. (2006) the introduction of this species to atlantic french coast is attributed to the importation of oysters Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793) which replaced Crassostrea angulata (Lamarck, 1819) (viral disease) in the late 1960's. From 1971 to 1977 the quantities of non-native oysters imported to Oléron Bay alone consisted of 256 t of adults from British Columbia and 4,574 t as spat on spat collectors from Japan (Grizel & Héral, 1991). The first record of Eurytemora pacifica in the Arcachon Bay (France) in Piraillan's pond was confirmed by V. David (> 98% of 3000 copepods in March 2014, not published). This observation points outthe capacity of the species to colonize areas independently of oyster farming all along the whole French Atlantic coast.
Ohrsuka & Nishida (2017, p.578) consider this species as a cold-water species on the japanese coasts infuenced by Oyashio waters.

The cyclomorphosis in the Eurytemora pacifica life cycle should be an exceptional case for the copepods (Brylinski et al 2016).
