Discoconchoecia elegans (Sars, 1865) is one of the most frequently recorded species of halocyprid ostracods and specimens are collected in abundance from various latitudes throughout the world oceans. This species is often dominant or subdominant member

Species diversity, abundance and spatial distribution of planktonic Ostracoda in the frontal waters of the South Atlantic were studied in summer 2009. Mesozooplankton materials were collected using WP-2 net in the top 300 m layer, from 32 stations located

The Ostracoda (Crustacea; Class Ostracoda) is a diverse, frequently abundant, and ecologically important component of the marine zooplankton assemblage. There are more than 200 described species of marine planktonic ostracods, many of which (especially
