Title Mass occurrence of bathypelagic chaetognath Eukrohnia fowleri from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
 
Creator Terazaki, M.
 
Description 163-168
More than 250 individuals of a cosmopolitan bathypelagic chaetognath Eukrohnia
fowleri were collected by ORI net from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. This high density is supported by high
primary production and zooplankton biomass in both areas. Body length ranged
from 13 mm to 27 mm (av 21 mm) in the Arabian Sea and from 11 mm to 30 mm (av
18 mm) in the Bay of Bengal. Adults contributed
24% and 12% of total catch respectively from Arabian Sea and Bay
of Bengal. Minimum body length of adult was 18 mm. The species
inhabit in the oxygen minimum layer in the Arabian Sea and Bay
of Bengal. The tropical northern Indian Ocean
supports relatively higher population density of Eukrohnia fowleri as
compared to other oceans.
