Probability models for the distribution of copepods in different coastal ecosystems along the straits of Malacca.

Copepods are the most abundant microcrustaceans in the marine waters and are the major food resource for many commercial fish species. In addition, changes in the distribution and population composition of copepods may also serve as an indicator of global climate changes. Therefore, it is important...
