Pseudocalanus Elongatus
''Pseudocalanus elongatus'' is a copepod found primarily in the Atlantic Ocean. Description The female ''P. elongatus'' ranges from about in length, and the male is usually between about . Distribution ''P. elongatus'' is generally found in temperate or sub-Arctic waters in the Atlantic and in the western Mediterranean Sea, although it is also found in the Arctic, and off of the southwestern coast of the United States. Ecology Life cycle and reproduction ''P. elongatus'' is abundant (at least off the coast of Plymouth, UK) from March to October, and breeds from January to December, usually having from four to six generations. It is most abundant from April to August, and peaks during June and August. In the southern North Sea, ''P. elongatus'' breeds year round.
