Could anybody help me the name of the 2 zooplankton? or their family,or order?Anything will be helpful to me . Thank you so much. Additionally, if anybody need other photos on these two zooplankton, please message me.
The length of them are both ca. 5 mm.
Notes: the zooplankton1-1 whole body is nearly white color;
zooplankton2-13 former half body is nearly white color ,but the later half body is nearly pink color,approximately iron red color.
Hi, both are calanoid copepods. The first one seems to belong to the family Eucalinadae, most likely a copepodite stage. The second one, I do not really know.
I agree with Monica and Albert that both are Calanoid copepods. Many copepods take a reddish colour. The large size may help in their identification.
Thanks so much for the helpful answers from Monica，Albert and Julian. I feel very excited for it's my first time to ask question on ResearchGate，thank you all 😀
Look your species are look like my attach figure. these are families - Acartiidae.
I think they are calanoida copepod. The first could be Rhincalanus nasutus and the second I don´t know
Yes, both are calanoids. I think Albert id right, the first one looks like a juvenile Eucalanus, tdhe second I don't know. the picture is not good enough, but it has not the air of Acartiidae.
I agree that the first one is an Eucalanus sp. (for sure not Rhincalanus). The second one may be a Calanidae, Nannocalanus minor?
Yes, first one is Eucalanus sp. Both the copepods belong to calanoida order.
I also agreed with other opinoin. In my view the first one is genus Eucalanus copepodite. And second one is genus Calanus sp, or early stage of Neocalanus (bcuz they are CA. 5mm body length). But I am not sure cuz by limited photo inform. The pics of Urosome or 5th leg's inform is needed.
Eucalanus sp. or these friends as Pareucalanus/Subeucalanus...
But it looks like copepodit stage, not adult so it is difficult to confirm
