The identification was based on diagnoses and identification keys by Lang (1948, 1965), Huys and Boxshall (1991), Huys et al. (1996); Boxshall and Halsey (2004). The systematic position and the global geographical distribution of each taxon was discussed in accordance with the WoRMS database; Walter and Boxshall (2018) and main specific literature (Lang 1948; Mielke, 1986; Bodin, 1997; Gee, 2006)
Along the coast of Ogliastra, on the eastern side of Sardinia, between Isolotto d’Ogliastra and Orrì Piscine
Sampling depths ranged between 0-1 m and 21 m.
All the Harpacticoida and Canuelloida specimens were isolated, counted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level under a Nikon Optiphot-2 microscope equipped with Differential interference contrast (DIC).

Copepoda are often the second most abundant meiofaunal taxon after Nematoda at any salinity level, from the supralittoral to the abyssal zone, and at all temperatures. from polar to tropical areas. They are sensitive to pollutants, making them the best bioindicators along with Nematoda
Despite the importance of Copepoda and the increase in taxonomical studies, knowledge of the species of the Italian coasts is fragmentary. A faunistic survey was carried out along the eastern coast of Sardinia (Ogliastra region) in order to document Copepoda Harpacticoida and Canuelloida in the area.
Sampling was carried out between 4 and 21 August 2015 along the coast of Ogliastra, on the eastern side of Sardinia, between Isolotto d’Ogliastra and Orrì Piscine. The bottom was predominantly rocky, with submerged and emerging rocks interspersed with sandy deposits. Posidonia oceanica meadows are often common along the Ogliastra coast. Sampling depths ranged between 0-1 m and 21 m.
The sediment was collected by a scuba diver from the upper two centimetres of the substratum (manual corer diameter 5 cm). At each site two samples were collected and then treated with magnesium chloride (7 % in aqueous solution) to narcotize meiofauna and then with formaldehyde (4 % buffered seawater solution) to fix them (Hulings and Gray, 1976). Meiofaunal organisms were stained with Rose Bengal (0.5 g/L) before laboratory processing.
In the laboratory, meiofaunal organisms were separated from sediment by washing through a set of 0.5 mm and 0.042 mm sieves. The extraction of specimens and their sorting into major taxa were performed under a stereomicroscope as reported in Semprucci et al. (2014). All the Harpacticoida and Canuelloida specimens were isolated, counted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level under a Nikon Optiphot-2 microscope equipped with Differential interference contrast (DIC). The identification was based on diagnoses and identification keys by Lang (1948, 1965), Huys and Boxshall (1991), Huys et al. (1996); Boxshall and Halsey (2004). The systematic position and the global geographical distribution of each taxon was discussed in accordance with the WoRMS database; Walter and Boxshall (2018) and main specific literature (Lang 1948; Mielke, 1986; Bodin, 1997; Gee, 2006)
