Cyclopoid copepods


Cyclopoid copepods can be found in almost every water type. They can feed on different food and many species are predators or detrivores. They are generally smaller than Calanoid copepods and the urosome (“tail”) is longer relative to the rest of the body. Females often carry two egg sacs.
