Copepods
are another group of small crustaceans which live in the sea. They are better
swimmers than the fresh water water fleas and use their legs as well as their
antennae to propel themselves through the water. Copepods drift in enormous
numbers in the upper levels of the sea. Together with other minute creatures
they form plankton on which all other higher animals feed, either directly or
indirectly. Thus they are a very important like in the food chain that ends with
man himself.
