Info

Euchirella Giesbrecht, 1888

Copepoden sind kleine, in Wasser lebende, Krebstiere mit einer Körpergröße meist im Millimeterbereich, die eine unglaubliche Variabilität der allgemeinen Körperform und Morphologie zeigen.

Man unterscheidet sie aber auch an Hand der Anzahl der Glieder bei den Antennen in Gruppen (Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Harpacticoida).

Die meisten Arten kommen in den Meeren vor, aber einige wenige (etwa 125 Arten) auch in Süßwasser. Es gibt sie pelagisch oder bentisch und manche leben parasitisch.
