Primarily, I am now doing a phylogeography of tide-pool copepod (Tigriopus japonicus) in Taiwan with my colleagues. As far as I know only copepod from Tigriopus spp. could survive in the tide-pools but during my sampling in Penghu Islands and Green Island, we also found this species in the tide-pools that we are not sure that it is Tigriopus japonicus.
The first photo was the unknown copepod species and the second was the Tigriopus japonicus.
Best,
Steve
The identification of a copepod without observing the appendages is quite hazardous.
You should dissect some specimens to have a reliable answer.
Hi! S/o Cyclopoida, fam. Oncaeidae, m.b., Oncaea sp. For identification need more detail and size.
