Copepod. Copepods are microscopic aquatic crustaceans found in waters around the world
Copepod. Copepods are microscopic aquatic crustaceans found in waters around the world. They may either be free living or parasitic on other organisms. They are the main constituent of zooplankton and are therefore a very important food source for other marine animals. They feed on other microscopic animals and plants

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a copepod, a microscopic aquatic crustacean found in waters all over the world. The image reveals its transparent body, allowing us to witness its delicate internal structures and see-through nature. Copepods play a vital role in marine ecosystems as they are the main constituent of zooplankton, serving as an essential food source for many other marine animals. In this snapshot of underwater life, we observe this single Asian copepod gracefully swimming with its distinct tail propelling it forward. Its translucent appearance highlights the fascinating biology and reproductive capabilities of these tiny organisms. As both free-living creatures or parasites on other organisms, copepods demonstrate their adaptability within various ecological niches. The photograph captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected our planet's ecosystems truly are. By studying microorganisms like copepods through disciplines such as marine biology and microbiology, scientists gain valuable insights into the complex dynamics that sustain life beneath our oceans' surfaces. This mesmerizing image is a testament to the wonders that lie beneath our seas and emphasizes the importance of preserving these fragile habitats for future generations to appreciate and study further.
