Abstract
Nowadays 72 species of copepods (Copepoda) parasitizing marine fish in Vietnam have been identified. The chorological analysis of marine parasitic copepods allows to distinguish nine groups of species: widespread Atlantic-Pacific (23 species), Indo-West- Pacific (without Oceania) (25 species), Indo-West-Pacific with a broken range (11 species), Western Pacific (including Oceania) (1 species), Japanese-Malay (2 species), Philippine- Malay (1 species), Chinese-Australian (1 species), Chinese-Japanese (4 species) and endemics of Vietnam (4 species). The majority of Vietnamese marine copepods belong to the Indo-West- Pacific (34.7% species), and widespread Atlantic-Pacific groups (34.7% and 31.9% species, respectively). A preliminary comparison of the species composition of copepods from Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Vietnam was made. Keywords: marine copepods, distribution, South
