The reproductive anatomy of Bathynomus giganteus resembles that of other isopods. [12] The females of B. giganteus, while being so many times larger than females of other isopods, carries approximately the same number of eggs in its marsupium. [12]
Although Bathynomus have been recorded in water as warm as 20 °C (68 °F), they are primarily found in much colder places. [15] For example, during a survey of the deep-sea fauna of Exuma Sound in the Bahamas, B. giganteus was found to be common in water between 3.25 and 13 °C (37.8 and 55.4 °F), but more abundant towards the lower temperature.

B. brucei is the largest 'giant' member of Bathynomus, a specimen collected 400 metres below sea level measuring 154 mm (6.1 in) long. [1] Members of the larger 'supergiant' group of Bathynomus species such as B. giganteus and B. kensleyi are known to grow to lengths of almost 20 in (510 mm). [3]
Bathynomus yucatanensis was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and was initially identified as another larger species, Bathynomus giganteus.The specimen was preserved at Japan’s Enoshima Aquarium, and was later acquired by Dr. Ming-Chih Huang of National University of Tainan’s Department of Biological Sciences and Technology for identification and comparison purposes.

Bathynomus doederleini is a species of giant isopod within the family Cirolanidae. [1] The species is found in waters 100 to 686 metres (330 to 2,250 ft) below sea level in the Western Central Pacific near Asian countries such as Japan , Taiwan , and the Philippines .
