Harpacticoid Copepods in Sarawak Coastal Waters: Ecology, Taxonomy and Its Captive Culture Trials

Study on zonation of harpacticoids in intertidal flat are being neglected since several decades because recent studies are more focused and interest in culture, experimental and bioassay of copepods. This study was conducted to investigate the zonation of harpacticoids in Buntal Beach by established...
