Horizontal and vertical distributions of copepods were investigated based on zooplankton samples collected during March 2012 at 10 stations in Aegean Sea. A total of 83 copepod species were identified. Copepods dominated the zooplankton assemblages at almost all stations. More than 70% of copepods were found in the upper 100 m layer. Using cluster analysis, five groups of samples differing on distribution of adult and copepodite stages of copepods and hydrological characteristics were determined.
