Discussion
- Males are less bulky, hence they have a different shape coefficient, del_M, compared to females
Facts
- Obligate parasite on large scyphomedusea, certainly in early stages (Ref: Ditt1987)
- 2 generations per year: a rapidfly growing generation in summer, followed by a slower growing and overwintering generation (Ref: Ditt1988)
- dry weight = 0.142 * wet weight (Ref: Ditt1991)
