Description 61-69
Among
different groups of zooplankton collected from Korangi-Phitti mangrove creek
area, copepods contributed maximum numerical abundance up to 68% and 75% at S1
and S2, respectively. Twenty one species of copepod, pertaining to fourteen
genera and thirteen families were identified from the sample, Difference in
diversity of copepod species among seasons with highest density in post monsoon
at both stations was recorded. Acrocalanus
longicornis, Paracalanus sp., Acartia sp., Temora sp., Oncea sp. and
Coryceaus sp. were observed as the dominant and abundantly found copepod
species throughout the study period. The highest diversity and equitability was
observed in pre monsoon at both stations followed by north east monsoon and
south west monsoon. Biomass and species diversity are in inverse relationship.
