Taxonomy and ultrastructure of phytal harpacticoid copepods from Malay Peninsula
Aquatic vegetation is the main breeding area for marine life, and harpacticoida are often dominant taxon in marine algae. They arc associated with sessile epibenthic macrofauna and microphytes, where they can make up a large of the phytal meiofauna. Thus, a study on taxonomy and ultrastructure of p...

| Summary: | Aquatic vegetation is the main breeding area for marine life, and harpacticoida are often dominant taxon in marine algae. They arc associated with sessile epibenthic macrofauna and microphytes, where they can make up a large of the phytal meiofauna.
Thus, a study on taxonomy and ultrastructure of phytal harpacticoid copepods was conducted in Malay Peninsula. The objectives of this research were to do a taxonomic
identification of the dominant species of harpacticoid copepods associated with seaweed
and seagrass in Malay Peninsula; and to determine the ultrastructure of phytal
harpacticoids using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). |
