Since the First Edition of this Synopsis in 1993 significantly more information has become available about commensal and parasitic copepods associated with British and west European marine invertebrates, with a number of new species, genera and even families have been described.

These have been included in the Second Edition and, to make the book more user friendly, illustrations have been placed by the relevant text. This is still the only pocket book covering all these animals.
