Extract

In November 1969 on ‘Discovery’ Cruise 30 a day and a night series of hauls were taken with the RMT 1 + 8 net system (Baker, Clarke & Harris, 1973) in the region of the Cape Verde Islands. The cyclopoid copepods from the two series have been examined and this account describes their depth distributions, vertical migration patterns and community organization. Some taxonomic observations on one family, the Oncaeidae, have already been published (Boxshall, 1977).
