First record of Eurytemora velox (Lilljeborg, 1853) (Crustacea: Copepoda: Calanoida) in Iceland with morphological notes.
The calanoid copepod Eurytemora velox is reported for the first time in Iceland from the Bessastašatjörn Lake. This is the dominant crustacean species in the littoral zooplankton. The morphological features in the specimens concerning the shape and ornamentation with spines and fine short setae of leg 5 in females and males vary. Asymmetry in the spine ornamentation on the ultimate segment of leg 5 in two females was observed.
