Sažetak
Small copepods were sampled at fixed western (SJ101 and SJ108) and eastern (SJ107) stations in the northern Adriatic Sea during eleven cruises in 1993, nine in 1994, eight, both in 1995 and 1996, seven in 1997. The samples were collected using a five litter Niskin bottle and the analysis was performed using a sedimentation method. Nauplii are the most numerous (70-75 % of the total number). The maximum value is noted in August 1997, on average 237.25 ind./dm3 at the SJ107 station. Copepodites and adult small Calanoida, order Cyclopoida and order Poecilostomatoida are almost equally represented (7-10 %). Genus Euterpina and Microsetella (order Harpacticoida) are not of great quantitative significance (0.5-1 %). They appear very sporadically, a little more numerous in autumn. A changes in the structure were analysed, as well as vertical and horizontal distribution of small copepods and populations density during the appearance of mucous aggregates.
