Title Free-living copepods of the Arabian Sea: Distributions and research perspectives
 
Creator Madhupratap, M.
 
Description 146-149
The subclass
Copepoda consists of 10 orders and exhibit great diversity in morphology as
well as the habitats they occupy. Within the orders themselves, there are
sometimes overlaps-some are free living or could be parasitic. There are
approximately 11500 known species in this subclass. This paper briefly outlines
the distribution, abundances and general feeding habitats of free-living
copepods from the Arabian Sea. The role of
taxonomy in biodiversity studies, estimates of grazing and production rates of
copepods, diapause and carbon

fluxes through vertical
migration and defecation are some problems which need to be addressed from this
region.
