Distribution map of Yrocalanus antarcticus by geographical zones
Loc:
Antarct. (E Weddell Sea), sub-Antarct. (off E Bouvet)

Locality type: 73°24'S,22°08'W.
N: 1
Lg.:
(1305) F: 1,00-1,05; M: 0,75-0,80; {1,00-1,05; M: 0,75-0,80}
Rem.: Above seabed (depth: 1983 and 2987 m).
For Renz & al. (2012, p.154 ) the female is more closely related to R. admirabilis (= Yrocalanus admirabilis). This species is the first ryocalanoid copepod recorded from the Southern Ocean.
