Time series of abundance estimates for Clausocalanus spp. (mainly C. minor, C. farrani, C. jobei) species sampled along the Pacific equator from passenger liner on a regular schedule.
Miller underlines that serial abundance for this species from the equator to 0°-2°N shows strong seasonality and dramatic reduction during the 1982-1983 El Niño (with a a sharp reduction of nitrate). A long list of other species also nearly vanished in that event. At least the stocks of hebivorous species rebounded immediately in 1984 (see E. rimana, a predator). |

For Frost & Fleminger (1968, p.62) females of C. minor differ from paululus in body length and in the form and spacing of basipodite 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3. males of C. minor are distinguished from farrani by the length ratio of A1 fused segments 20-21 to segment 22 and usually by the segmentation and appearance of the right P5. C. minor and jobei differ in the armature of the left P5 5th segment, the segmentation and appearance of the right P5, and the ratio of the length of the left 2nd segment of P5 to the width of urosomal segment 2. C. minor is distinguished from paululus by body length, the urosomal segment 2/3rd segment of P5 length ratios, and the form of the basipodite segment 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3.
After Cornils & al. (2007, p.66) the species differs from Clausocalanus arcuicornis by a protuberance beneath the genital pores (not found in C. arcuicornis), the seminal receptacles have a different shape, and a second anterior dorsal lobe is present.
For Greenwood (1977, p.54) the southward spread of this species along the east coast of Australia parallels that along east Africa and suggests transport of tropical water southward during the cooler months of the year.
According to Uysal & Shmeleva (2012, p. 918) this species is mentioned for the first time in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (N Levantin Basin). | | | Last update : 15/09/2020 | |
