Chart showing the geographical distribution (white triangle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951).

Charts showing the distribution of Drepanopus pectinatus ( = Drepanopus forcipatus) in the upper layers of waters at stations in the 1926-7 surveys around South Georgia.
The squares represent the average numbers per 50 m vertical haul from 250 m (or less at shallow-water stations) to the surface with N 70 V nets.

[after publications from: Brady, 1883, 1918; Thompson, 1900; Wolfenden, 1908, 1911; With , 1915; Rosendorn, 1917; Farran, 1929; Sewell, 1929, 1947; Brady & Gunther, 1935; Steuer, 1929, 1392, 1933; Ommaney, 1936; Vervoort, 1957; Tanaka, 1960; Brodsky, 1964; Seno, 1966; Andrews, 1966; Grice & Hulsemann, 1967; Seno, 1966; Frost & Fleminger, 1968; Voronina, 1970; Zverva, 1972].

C. Séret notes the occurrence around Kerguelen Islands but the percentage diminishes strongly with the distance.
Species Drepanopus pectinatus - Distribution map 8Issued from : C. Séret in Thesis UPMC, Paris 6. 1979 [p.61].
Female (from off N Kerguelen Is.): Lengths of Cephalothorax at two stations: 4 (50°05'S, 70°28'E) and 5 (50°35'S, 69°29'E) from the same date 05.04.1974; surface temperature: 3.64°C and 3.74°C, respectively.
Species Drepanopus pectinatus - Distribution map 9Issued from : C. Séret in Thesis UPMC, Paris 6. 1979 [p.62].
Female: Frequency distribution of cephalothrax length (L.Cth) from station 4 and 5.

Nota: The author notes the lengths of females are higher at the station 4 (closest of Islands) than those at station 5.
Loc:
Antarct. (off Station Syowa N : 69° S, 39° 35 E), sub-Antarct. (off N Crozet Is., Kerguelen Is., Heard, Is., Campbell Is.), [!? Atlant. N (in Wilson, 1942 a)]
N: 24
Lg.:
(25) F: 2,7-1,8; M: 1,8-1,58; (114) F: 3-2,7; (246) F: 2,57-1,78; {F: 1,78-3,00; M: 1,58-1,80}
Rem.: Neritic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-250 m.
The form reported by Wilson (1942 a, p.17) under this name (at 44 ° N, 33° W) is more probably Drepanopus bungei.
The curve of the P5 female permits to easily distinguish this species from D. forcipatus. In the male , the A1 lacks conspicuous patches of spinules at the base and P5 has a small, 1-segmented endopod on either side.
For the geographic distribution between D. pectinatus and D. forcipatus see remarks to D. forcipatus.
After Bayly (1982, p.170) Tanaka's (1964) records are rather confusing and problematical.
According to Razouls & Razouls (1988, 1990) the fluctuations in the cycles of relative abundance for the different stages copepodites (1 to adults), in association with the significant variations in the sizes of specimens in the various age classeswithin the time series, support the hypothesis that there is a succession of 4 generations in the Morbihan Bay (Kerguelen Islands): 1st generation from October to December (63 days), 2nd generation of December tp mid-February (44 days in 1983 and 49 days in 1984), 3rd generation end-February to mid-April (49 days) and 4th generation April to beginning of September (151 days). Observed pulses of the different cohorts of a given generation result from successive layings by the females on every 5 days in the summer period. Seasonal changes in mean water temperature at the surface (neritic zone) between January 1983 to February 1984 are 7-8°C in subantarctic summer and 2-3°C in subantarctic winter.
The dynamics of coldwater neritic populations, known from subarctic areas, is usually based on 1 generation or a succession of 2 generations. (See Bakke, 1977, Pertsova, 1981, Matthews & al. 1978, Asknes & Magnesen, 1983).
