| Abstract |
The zooplankton of Tudor Creek, a mangrove estuary in Kenya, was investigated from November 1984 to October 1985 at monthly intervals. One hundred and two copepod species were identified of which twelve were abundant. Densities are given for these species and their seasonal fluctuations are discussed. |
