Abstract

An inventory of Indian Calanoid copepod has been prepared in the form of a catalogue dealing with 287 species and subspecies belonging to 82 genera and 25 families. Among these, 99 are marine and 55 freshwater forms, remaining 143 species occur in estuarine and diversified water conditions. Maximum species have been recorded in Kerala (114 species) while the minimum are recorded from the states of Delhi, Manipur and Uttarakhand being represented by one species each. The distribution of the calanoid species in India are also incorporated in this catalogue.
