Espèce Scottocalanus helenae - Carte de distribution 2Issued from : M. Sano, K. Maki, Y. Nishibe, T. Nagata & S. Nishida in Progr. Oceanogr., 2013, 110. [p.20, Fig.10].
Vertical distribution of eight copepod species across 0-1000 m in Sagami Bay in 21-27 April 2009.
White and black boxes denote daytime and nighttime distributions. Scaphocalanus echinatus is taken from Kuriyama & Nishida (2006).
Plankton and water samples collected from a fixed station (35°00'N, 139°20'E) using MTD horizontal closing nets (0.33 mm mesh aperture) at 15 depths (0, 50, 95, 100, 150, 195, 200, 295, 300, 395, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000 m) during both day and night.

Atomic C:N (mean ± SD) = 4.8 ±0.3, n = 15.
Espèce Scottocalanus helenae - Carte de distribution 3Issued from : M. Sano, K. Maki, Y. Nishibe, T. Nagata & S. Nishida in Progr. Oceanogr., 2013, 110. [p.19, Figs.8, 9].
Second maxilla (Mx2) and maxilliped (Mxp) from Scaphocalanus echinattus (e), Scottocalanus helenae (f) and Scottocalanus securifrons (g).
Scale bars: Mx2 = 100 µm (e, f); 200 µm (g); Mxp = 100 µm (e); 200 mm (f, g).

Nota: The setae in Sco. securifrons, Sco. helenae, and Sca. echinatus were similar in shape to specialized chemosensory setae; among these, the shape in Sca. echinatus were relatively fine.
The feeding appendages (Mx2 and Mxp) do not appear suitable for feeding on fine particulate organic material (POM) contrary to Scaphocalanus echinatus (Compare figures of setal armament from three species in the two genera). It is assumed that the contribution of zooplankton prey to this species is larger than that the other species (Scottocalanus securifrons and Scaphocalanus echinatus). The stable-isotope ratios (C and N) values of S. helenae were close to those of carnivorous zooplankton (chaetognaths, Paraeuchaeta tuberculata). Differences in the C and N values between S. helenae and Calanus sinicus were 2.6% and 0.1%, suggesting that C. sinicus may be a potential food of S. helenae. Sco. helenae, as Sco. securifrons had short, stout setae on Mxp.

Espèce souvent confondue à d'autres, d'où une distribution géographique peu sûre.
Vervoort (1965) considère S. australis comme synonyme de cette forme, suivi par Mulyadi (1998 a, p.385), contrairement à Farran (1936 a), Tanaka (1961 a), Owre & Foyo (1967), Vives (1982, Suarez (1992 et Suarez-Morales & Gasca, (1998 a).
Cette forme serait essentiellement atlantique et S. australis indo-pacifique.
