The Harpacticoid Copepod inhabiting the different sediment habitat of Tamilnadu was studied from 2006 and 2007. A brief description of the density, sediment characters, total organic carbon, and vertical distribution in different sediment habitats, diversity and cluster analysis is given. The density of total Copepod individuals in these intertidal sediments ranged from 26 animals/100 cm3 to 1440 animals/100 cm3.
