Abstract

This paper reviews the systematic status and geographical distribution of 30 odd species of freshwater calanoid copepods in Southeast Asia. Three regions are delineated based on the diversity and abundance of these organisms; Region I being the Southasiatic element, Region II the attenuated belt of copepods and Region III rich in endemic species. The implication of a north-south diminishing of copepod species to inland fisheries is postulated.
