Zooplankton community and pelagic copepods in Tudor creek (Mombasa, Kenya) between 1984 and 1987

Description in English

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.
