Zooplankton species found during studies of the zooplankton of the southeastern coastal waters of Tasmania are recorded, and discussed taxonomically where appropriate. A brief account is given of the distribution of the 71 pelagic copepods, eight euphausids, one sergestid, 11 chaetognaths and seven pelagic tunicates. Except for
two copepod species which are assigned only to a genus, the remaining are positively identified to species level. Amongst the species recorded, 22 copepods are new to Australian waters whereas 38 copepods, one euphausid and two chaetognaths are new records for Tasmanian waters. Keys to the copepod genera and species are also given.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
