Copepods are small, aquatic crustaceans that typically measure between 0.5 to 2 millimeters in length. They have a segmented body with a distinct head, large compound eyes, and long antennae that aid in swimming. Their bodies are often cylindrical or oval-shaped, and they can vary in color, commonly appearing translucent or pale. Copepods play a crucial role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as a key part of the food web.
