Forteen species of caprellideans, namely, Perotripus brevis La Follette、Phtisica marina Slabber、Caprella equilibra Say、Caprella glabra Aoki、Caprellapenantis Leach、Caprella verrocosa Boeck、Caprella scaura Templeton、Caprella simia Mayer、Aciconula miranda Mayer、Hemiaegina Mayer、Paracaprella pusilla Mayer、Metaprotella sandalensis Mayer、Paraprotellaprima Mayer and Protella similis Mayer were identified. Keys tovarious categories, species distribution and full taxonomy account of there species are presented. Species composition, abundance, sexratio and spawning cycle of the caprellideans associated with the algae on the floation cages are described. The phylogenetic relationshipof the 14 species caprellideans in Taiwan constructed by cladistic analysis.
