Malaysia is one of the three mega-diversity countries in the ASEAN region besides Indonesia and the Philippines, making it an important area for marine ecosystem studies. Marine zooplankton research in Malaysia is still comparatively new when viewed globally. In order to identify where the country stands in this field, the scientific developments achieved to date starting from the earliest oceanographic expeditions in the Malaysian waters are introduced. More recent researches span a wide spectrum including taxonomic and biodiversity observations, experiments on the biology and physiology of zooplankton and trophic structure studies in different marine habitats. Research at large and small scales has been limited due mainly to financial and technical difficulties coupled with a critical need to develop expertise in taxonomy. Continued effort in multidisciplinary activities and multilateral collaborations in the region is necessary to enhance communication, outline similar goals and areas of future study, and significantly accelerate the zooplankton research in Malaysia.
