Abundance and productivity of smaller copepods such as the cyclopoid Oithona spp. have been substantially underestimated in most studies, primarily due to large mesh sizes employed during zooplankton tows. Several studies demonstrate that the assemblage

Temporal changes in abundance and distribution patterns of cyclopoid copepods belonging to the genus Oithona were analyzed from a 3 yr survey in the South China Sea comprising 9 sampling cruises, during spring, summer, and autumn of 2000-2002. Plankton

The relationships between the small cyclopoid copepod Oithona and hydrological factors, phytoplankton and ichthyoplankton were evaluated using the data obtained in the central South China Sea (SCS) in summer 2014. The genus abundance ranged from 6.00indm⁻³

Copepod species diversity, abundance and assemblages in relation to water masses over the continental shelf of the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) were studied extensively based on the net plankton samples in autumn 2000. Multivariate analysis

Seagrass habitats are considered to be some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and safeguard some ecologically and economically important fauna, amongst which are some globally threatened species, including dugong. Malaysian seagrass ecosystems

Traditionally, many small-sized copepod species are considered to be widespread, bipolar or cosmopolitan. However, these large-scale distribution patterns need to be re-examined in view of increasing evidence of cryptic and pseudo-cryptic speciation in
