Abstract The seasonal variation of Acartia copepods from the waters of Peninsular Malaysia was studied via monthly observations at 2 fixed stations on the west coast (Pulau Pinang and Port Dickson) and 2 fixed stations on the east coast (Kijal and Penyabong) from October 2012 to March 2014. In situ temperatures recorded during this period were relatively constant (mean 29.6 ± 0 . 7 ° C) at all stations. Salinity measurements were also fairly constant (mean 30.3 ± 1.1 PSU) for all stations during this study except at Penyabong where the salinity during the northeast (NE) monsoon season was significantly lower (p ± 5 . 4 μ g/L) than during the NE monsoon period. Four species of Acartia were identified at all stations: A. amboinensis, A. erythraea, A. pacifica and A. spinicauda. At Kijal, Acartia erythraea population was significantly higher (p
