Harpacticoid copepods living in wood infested by Limnoria from France

Five species of harpacticoid copepods are recorded as associates of wood-boring gribbles of the genus Limnoria, in French coastal waters. Two of these species, both belonging to the genus Tisbe, are new to science. With three of the species rearing experiments have been done in order to determine what kind of relation exists between them and Limnoria tripunctata Menzies.
