Vertical distribution of the various types (orders) of copepods in the central (a) and western (b) Bay of Bengal during the spring intermonsoon. The percentages at every depth are averages from 5 stations in the central and 4 stations in the western bay. Data are unavailable at 300–500 m in the central bay due to negligible abundance.

Multivariate cluster analysis of the data of all 129 copepod species combined from all the stations and depths in the central and western bay using the 30% cut-off level of Bray–Curtis similarity. Cluster/Group I are assemblages mostly from the mixed layer (M) and thermocline (T) from central and western transects. Group II comprises assemblages found between the thermocline and 500 m and Group III includes only a few species found exclusively from 200–300 m depth at stations CB3–CB5.	Figure 13.
