Abstract

Copepods were the most abundant zooplankton on the North coast of Sfax, contributing to 61.29% of the total zooplankton. A total of 12 copepods families were identified in all stations, with an overwhelming abundance of Oithonidae (76.70% of copepod abundance), which were characterized by neritic rstrategy-type species dominated by Oithona nana (55.85% of the total copepod abundance).
