Description The flora and fauna inhabit at or near the bottom
or sub-bottom layer of aquatic ecosystem may be broadly
considered as benthos. The studies on benthic communities
their distribution and abundance in space and time form an
exciting field of brackishwater studies. The faunestic
composition of tropical estuaries is represented by a wide
spectrum of animals belonging to groups such as Polychaetes,
Crustaceans, Molluscs, Nematodes, fishes etc. Benthos, for
many years, has been a stepchild of ecology depending upon
the thoughts generated by terrestial and water column
colleagues. But with the increasing awareness on the
complex relationship of benthic communities and the
surrounding environment, in which they live, benthic ecologists
have broken these feters and produced original research
and hypothesis, now available to whole ecological world.
As the tropical estuary is a special ecological niche with a
complex dynamic mixture of transitional conditions, the
faunestic composition and their abundance too showed very
Interesting community structures and vary often with wide
seasonal fluctuations.
