Ostracods in the superorder Mydocopa, excluding the
planktonic suborder Halocypridina, which is outside the
scope of the present report, have not previously been
reported from Micronesia. A comprehensive checklist of
Ostracoda from southeast Asia is concerned with the area

latitude and 140{sup
O}E and 85{sup O}E longitude. The area includes the
western edge of Micronesia, but a brief perusal of the
checklist revealed no listing of specimens from
Micronesia. A small collection of Enewetak ostracods in
the suborder Myodocopina at the National Museum of
Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, contains
members of all five families that comprise the suborder.
Although the species in the collection are capable of
swimming, and do so occasionally, they spend most of
their existence crawling on, or burrowing in, the
substrate. An exception to this is members of the mainly
pelagic genus Cypridina, which is represented in the
collection by two species. Some of the Enewetak
specimens are illustrated.

Studies on the species composition of lagoon
zooplankton at Enewetak Lagoon and nearby atolls have
for the most part focused on the holoplanktonic
organisms, forms that are permanently planktonic all of
their lives;
these forms
are the main attention of this
chapter. Because information is lacking on the life
history of many of the species mentioned, some
meroplanktonic forms - organisms that are temporarily
planktonic - are no doubt included in this checklist. A
variety of sampling methods have been used to collect
the zooplankton, and each method has its inherent
advantages and disadvantages. In a sense it is perhaps
fortunate that no one method is best to sample the
various types of zooplankton. One important aspect
