Distribution
and abundance of hydromedusae from the exclusive economic zone of the west and
east coasts of India is carried out based on zooplankton collections (on board FORV
Sagar Sampada) during the period 1985-1990. The 661 samples collected from
28 cruises of west and east coasts were analysed. Eighty species of 43 genera
were observed. In the west coast highest population density was found from the
southwest region whereas in the east coast it was from the north eastern part. Aglaura
hemistoma was the most dominant species of west coast while Liriope
tetraphylla was that of the east coast. Solmundella bitentaculata was
the next abundant species of both the coasts. Cytaeis tetrastyla,
Rhopalonema velatum and Crossota alba were the next commonly
occurring species of west coast while Rhopalonema velatum, Cytaeis
tetrastyla,

Bougainvillia fulva and Phialidium
hemisphaericum were the common forms of the east coast. Aequorea conica was
noticed in swarms from west coast. The study indicates the richness of
hydromedusae along the coastal waters of India.
