Abstract
Harpacticoid copepods (Crustacea) comprise an important taxon of the sedimentdwelling meiofauna, generally being numerically inferior to only the Nematoda (Hulings & Gray, 1971). This paper reports those species comprising the fauna of the sediments of the River Ythan estuary, particularly the intertidal sediments, and describes some of the properties of the meiobenthic copepod community structure.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
