Morphological details of the mandibular blades of 11 species of copepods were examined with scanning electron microscopy. The micrographs improved our understanding of the complex toothed edge of the mandibular blade, which in turn aids in identification of the copepod prey of chaetognaths by gut-content analysis. Beklemishev's discovery of siliceous tooth crowns in calanoid copepods was confirmed for most of the species examined. Long, sharp projections on the crowns of herbivorous species, and the deep grooves into which they fit on the teeth of the opposite mandible, suggest a cracking rather than a grinding function for these teeth.
