Chlorophyl peaked in both winter and summer, but cyanobacteria only peaked in summer. Wild animals never reached the size of lab animals during the whole year."]]
- A study near an eddy of the Kuroshio extension defined three communities, including
one coastal characterised by high species diversity and the presence of _O. dioica_,
one dominated by _O. longicauda_ and one with a higher contribution of _Fritillaria_

### Distribution near Taiwan and China
([[Franco, Chen and Li, 2014|biblio/10.1007_s11802-014-2376-0]]). Abundance peaked
is spring, but the animals could also be found in winter when water temperature
went below 10°C.
+ - _O. dioica_ was found mostly from June to December in Jiaozhou Bay,
+ especially when both chlorophyl and cyanobacteria peaked. Nevertheless, the
+ size of wild catches was consistently smaller than lab animals
