- Admirality bay, King George island, Antarctica, where the two most abundant appendicularians
were _F. borealis_ and _O. gaussica_ ([[Panasiuk and Kalarus, 2021|biblio/10.3390_d13120675]).
+## South Atlantic
+
+ - _Fritillaria borealis_ (and _O. dioica_ and _O. fusiformis_) was found near Argentina by Capitanio, Pájaro and Esnal [[(2005)|10.1111_j.1439-0426.2005.00657.x]].

whether the viruses are digested.
- Houses and fecal pellets of _Oikopleura_ species are consumed by eel larvae
([[Mochioka and Iwamizu, 1996|biblio/10.1007_BF00353257]]).
+ - _O. dioica_ and _O. fusiformis_ are eaten by anchovies ([[Capitanio, Pájaro and Esnal,
+ 2005|biblio/10.1111_j.1439-0426.2005.00657.x]]).
- In the Black Sea, invasion of _O. dioica's predator_ _Mnemiopsis leidyi_ (a
ctenophore) decimated its population, which was restored to higher levels by the
subsequent invasion of the predator's predator _Beroe ovata_. [[Shiganova,
most abundant in summer ([[Viñas and coll.,
2013|biblio/10.1080_17451000.2012.745003]]), Caravelas river estuary and
adjascent costal areas ([[Carvalho and Bonecker, 2010|biblio/10.1590_S1516-89132010000100020]]).
+ - Found near Argentina ([[Capitanio, Pájaro and Esnal, 2005|biblio/10.1111_j.1439-0426.2005.00657.x]]).
- Southen sea of Cortez (Mexico), near Isla El Paradito (water temperature =
30 °C; night dives), _O. dioica_ was found but not as abundant as other
larvaceans ([[Galt, Grober and Sykes, 1985|biblio/10.2307_1541178]]).
