Abstract: This is the second paper in the 'Investigations of the plankton of the west coast of Ireland' series, and consists of a list of the planktonic Copepoda found during a survey off the Co. Galway coast. Data on copepod population density, and types of copepods present in the plankton throughout a year, together with observations on sex ratio, breeding seasons and parasites are presented. Forty-two species of Copepoda are recorded during the survey from which this information is derived.
