The Copepods of the Woods Hole Region, MassachusettsThis report comprises a study of marine, brackish-water, and fresh-water copepods -- free-swimming, commensal, semiparasitic, and parasitic species [in the Woods Hole, Massachusetts region]. The region lies just at the latitude where the northern and southern faunas meet and overlap. It contains, therefore, copepod representatives of three distinct plankton faunas. |
