Состав и распределение рода Calocalanus (Copepoda, Calanoida) в Индийском океане

Abstract

Researches carried out in the Indian Ocean revealed there 35 species of genus Ca- localanus: 30 species in the western part of the Ocean; 24 - in the Arabian Sea and the same number in the Bay of Bengal; 15 species in the subantarctic sector. The genus Calocalanus is most variable in the regions of littoral upwelling and in some regions arranged along the equator and connected with divergence between the southern equato- rial current and equatorial countercurrent. The southern boundary of Calocalanus distri- bution in the Indian Ocean is the region of Antarctic convergence.
