Description

List of zooplankton taxa and copepoda species for 5 stations in Tudor creek sampled between December 1984 and December 1987. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Okemwa, E. (1990). A study of the pelagic copepods (Copepoda; Crustacea) in a tropical marine creek Tudor, Mombasa, Kenya, with a special reference to their community structure, biomass and productivity. PhD Thesis. VUB: Brussel. 225 pp.

Additional info

Study on the zooplankton community structure and species composition of copepods in Tudor Creek as well as the spatio-temporal distribution of pelagic copepods sampled at 5 stations between December 1984 and December 1987. Over 51 zooplankton taxa were recorded. Density and biomass is given for Copepoda and minium and maximum individual dryweight is determined for some adult species of the planktonic copepods.
