No, a copepod is not an insect, it is a crustacean.

Yes

what is a copepod eaten by

no

It gets eaten.

very quickly :-)

a copepod is a consumer

i believe it is a decomposer.

i believe it is a decomposer.

A copepod,I suppose.

there are thousands of diffrent types of copepods.

the diet of the arctic cod consists of mainly copepod.

Nope phosphate doesn't affect copepods at all.

A copepod is a small crustacean that belongs to the group of zooplankton. They are an important component of the marine food web, serving as food for many fish and other marine animals. Copepods play a key role in marine ecosystems by cycling nutrients and energy.

Some common enemies of copepods include larger zooplankton, fish, jellyfish, and some marine invertebrates like sea anemones and corals. Additionally, various species of parasites and pathogens can also pose a threat to copepod populations.

Calanoida is the scientific name for a copepod, all zooplankton are in the family heterotrophic plankton.

An antheacherid is a member of the Antheacheridae, also known as the Poecilostomatoida, a copepod - a small crustacean occupying freshwater habitats.

Essentially zooplankton like Rotifers and Daphnia, Diaphanosoma. If they are quick enough, the occasional copepod but not usually.

Yes, a copepod is a primary consumer. They are a group of tiny crustaceans, some species are planktonic and some are benthic.

No, copepods are not producers. They are small crustaceans that primarily feed on phytoplankton and detritus, making them consumers in the food chain.

They were always there. there are many copepod species found only in America so they probably didn't come from elsewhere.

Copepods are a subclass of crustaceans called Copepoda in the class Maxillopoda. There are several orders, each with several genera, each with several species. Just to provide one example out of many species, there is a freshwater copepod found only in the US called Aglaodiaptomus kingsburyae. See http://www.answers.com/topic/copepoda-2?cat=technology

Ctenophora do not have specific organs for breathing. They use their entire body's surface for gas exchange through simple diffusion

Copepods are considered to be primary consumers. They form an important link in the food chain. Their diet consists of small plant plankton.

Copepods are sometimes found in the public mains water supply, especially in places where the water is not filtered,l Ike New York City.

they are omnivores

Hope this helps, I love to help people everyday of my life

Snake pipefish feed primarily on the copepod Calanus helgolandicus.

Copepods are small crustaceans that live on the surface of other sea and freshwater animals. When a copepod senses danger in their immediate surroundings, they are able to jump extremely high to get away.

Yes, copepods are multicellular organisms. They are small crustaceans that belong to the group Arthropoda, which are characterized by having a segmented body and joint appendages. Copepods typically have a single, clear body segment.

Planktonic copepods are important to global ecology and the carbon cycle. They are usually the dominant members of the zooplankton, and are major food organisms for small fish, whales, seabirds and other crustaceans such as krill in the ocean and in fresh water.

Cyclops is a family of common tiny freshwater copepods that can be scooped out of most ponds and raised in a jar. They eat mostly phytoplankton, ie. single celled algae. Googling copepod will bring up several images of Cyclops.

Arthropods can get pretty small, if you consider the flea or the aquatic copepod at only 1-2mm long. The smallest arthropods known are a crustacean parasite, Stygotantulus stocki, around a hundred micrometers long (about 4 thousandths of an inch).

There are many tiny ones, like the flea, or the aquatic copepod at only 1-2mm long, and even smaller. The smallest arthropods known are a crustacean parasite, Stygotantulus stocki, around a hundred micrometers long (about 4 thousandths of an inch).

The scientific name for zooplankton is "Zooplankton." It is a broad term used to describe a diverse group of planktonic animals that range in size from microscopic organisms to larger marine animals.

A sea louse is a small marine copepod that lives and feeds on fish. The term sea lice refers to several species of the Family Caligidae that infect fish. Sea lice are ectoparasites, meaning they attach to the outside of fish, either on skin, fins, or gills.

1. The parasitic isopod, Cirolana harfordi, which attaches to fish and feeds on their blood, is an example of parasitism in a marine biome.
2. Another example is the parasitic copepod, Lernaeocera branchialis, which attaches to the gills of fish and feeds on their tissue, leading to negative effects on the host's health.

Not even close.
A typical hydra is a few millimeters long.
Copepods are much more common, and a typical copepod is less than 2 millimeters long.

Organisms in the Archaea and Bacteria groups are typically a few micrometers in size.

(So a thousand typical bacteria set end-to-end are about the same length as a typical hydra).

The bacteria found on the eye of a Greenland shark are mainly from the phylum Proteobacteria, particularly the species Moritella viscosa. These bacteria help the shark survive in its harsh deep-sea environment by aiding in digestion and potentially preventing infection.

Copepods are small crustaceans that primarily feed on phytoplankton, algae, and detritus. Some copepod species are also known to feed on bacteria, other smaller zooplankton, and even some small fish larvae. They play a crucial role in marine food webs as both primary consumers and prey for larger organisms.
