| Summary: | A study has been carried out on the systematic of calanoid copepod from samples
taken off sea grass and coral area in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The material
examined was taken from various samples collected since 1990 until 1997 in Pulau
Sibu, Pulau Besar, Pulau Redang and Pulau Bidong. Thirty-four species representing
16 genera and 12 families were described and illustrated. Six species are new record
for Malaysian coastal water. They are Subeucalanus crassus, S. subcrassus, S.
pileatus, Labidocera kroeyeri, Centro pages yamadai and Bestiolina similis.
Subeucalanus is a new record for genus. This study also found that the species
Centropages yamadai is also new to Indo Pacific region.
This study also reviewed the systematic and distribution of calanoid copepod in
Malaysian waters based on published and unpublished literatures. Misidentification
and misuse of species names in the literature have been corrected where possible. |
