Scope note: Gran subclase de la mayoría de los CRUSTÁCEOS marinos, que contienen más de 14.000 especies. Los 10 órdenes comprenden organismos planctónicos y bénticos e incluyen formas de vida libre y parásitas. Los copépodos planctónicos forman el principal vínculo entre el FITOPLANCTÓN y los niveles tróficos más elevados de las cadenas de la alimentación marinas.

Scope note: A huge subclass of mostly marine CRUSTACEA, containing over 14,000 species. The 10 orders comprise both planktonic and benthic organisms, and include both free-living and parasitic forms. Planktonic copepods form the principle link between PHYTOPLANKTON and the higher trophic levels of the marine food chains.
