Abstract

Species of the genus Pseudodiaptomus are reported as the major constituents in the fresh or brackish waters in the northeastern Asia (Suh et al., 1991; Oka et al., 1991). Of these species, P. inopinus (Burckhardt) and P. poplesia (Shen) are particularly numerous in spring and autumn (Suh et al., 1991; Shen and Song, 1979). Recently. we found a presence of two types of Pseudodiaptomus inopinus during the course of investigation on zooplankton from Korean estuaries. (omitted)
