Objectives • This research are to illustrate the relationship between copepod distribution and hydrographic factors and to monitor the faunas of marine planktonic copepods. • Important organisms and their seasonal community dynamics, such as species composition, abundance, distributional pattern, parameters of biodiversity, community structure , and other issues of biological oceanography.
