This project has completed three main goals: First, we established atlas of zooplankton with microscopic photos of fresh zooplankton sample from waters of Taiwan. 397 pages were compiled with latest taxonomic and scientific description of the species. 1,359 pho-tos of fresh zooplankton sample taken under microscope were used. This included com-mon zooplankton species from a total of 20 animal phyla. With different morphologies, life history, and developmental stages. The habitats range from intertidal to epi- and mes-opelagic zone in ocean, and open freshwater bodies on land. Subsequently, photos and texts were presented in the most brilliant way through professional art editing. Then, compiled into a hardcover atlas of approximately 448 pages. It is expected that the atlas will become one of the important reference books for identification of zooplankton. An electronic database may be further established to make it available to the international community. Secondly, we aggregated Taiwanese experts in relevant fields to discuss the consistency of the use of terms in Chinese and English. And evaluated the simplification of secondary taxonomic ranks as they are too complicated and change occasionally. Final-ly, we collected 1,020 photos from scanner and tested the accuracy of automated classifi-cation. Then, evaluated the feasibility and potential obstacles of expanding the use of au-tomated classification of zooplankton in the future.
