This study was carried out to elucidate the seasonal occurrences of zooplankton and their relation with the hydrographic conditions in Omura Bay. This paper describes the seasonal occurrences of copepods. Samples were collected at 26 stations in the bay in January, March, May, July, September, and November of 1976. Copepods were the most predominant group among the zooplankton collected except in May when the benthos larvae were the most abundant. 24 species in 15 genera of copepods were identified. Among the copepods collected, Paracalanus crassirostris, Acartia clausi, Oithona brevicornis and Microsetella norvegica were the dominant species and Paracalanus parvus, Centropages abdominalis, Pseudodiaptomus marinus, Eurytemora Pacifica and Acartia erythraea were the subdomdnant species. A few oceanic species were detected only in autumn. The occurrences of these dominant and subdominant copepods by season were as follows: Paracalanus parvus from winter to spring; Paracalanus crassirostris in summer; Centropages abdominalis from winter to spring; Pseudodiaptomus marinus from winter to spring; Eurytemora pacifica in spring; Acartia erythraea in autumn; Acartia clausi in spring; Oithona brevicornis from summer to autumn and Microsetella norvegica throughout the year. The seasonal change in occurrence of most of the copepods species except Microsetella norvegica corresponded to the alternation of hydrographic condition dividing a whole year into 2 periods.
