The copepod fauna of Enewetak is based on studies 

 carried out on symbiotic (commensal and parasitic) species 

 as well as those found as part of the plankton community 

 (Chapter 20, this volume). A checklist of copepod fauna is 

 found in Table 1. 



Copepods associated with marine invertebrates at 

 Enewetak have been recorded since 1970 mainly through 



the efforts of A. J. Humes. Twenty-five of these copepods, 

 their hosts, and references are given in Table 2. These 

 include two harpactacoid, 19 p)oecilostomatoid (as cyclo- 

 poid), and four siphonostomatoid (as cyclopoid) forms. As 

 a result of these publications, one new genus and 14 new 

 species were reported from Enewetak; additional species 

 remain to be described (Humes, personal communication). 



Parasitic copepods from fishes include two poecilo- 

 stomatoid (as cyclopoid) and 20 siphonostomatoid (as 

 caligoid) species, three of which were new to science 

 (Lewis, 1964; 1968). These copepods and their fish hosts
