[1] For adults and copepodite stages IV and above, lower temperatures result in longer prosomes.

[2] C. sinicus is found in the northwest Pacific, off of the east coast of Asia to the South China Sea.

In the southern Yellow Sea, these peaks occur from May to July and from November to January.

In the first reproductive period, during spring, the average prosome length is high, which allows it to produce more eggs around the time of the phytoplankton bloom.

[5] The depth at which eggs are found may be related to the avoidance of cannibalism by late copepodite stages and adults, as, in some cases, a lack of overlap between the vertical distribution of eggs and potential cannibals has been observed.
