Description:Zooplankton are a major component of the diets of almost all species of fishes during some part of their life cycles. Any factor which reduces the numbers of zooplankton can indirectly affect fishes by reducing an important part of their food supply. In the ocean and estuaries the major component of the zooplankton is copepods. The findings of this study are that the soluble fraction from 200 ul crude oil per liter sea water significantly reduced egg production by the harpacticoid copepod, Nitocra affinis (Gurney) as did one-half and one-fourth dilutions of the oiled water with filtered sea water.
