Description 192-197
Plankton
collections were made from three stations in the bay to study the annual
variations in distribution of zooplankton in relation to temperature, salinity,
turbidity, pH and dissolved oxygen. The annual mean value of

biomass and
numerical abundance at three stations were 1.79, 1.80, 2.91 ml.m-3
and 38482, 39269, 38447 no. m-3 respectively at three stations. The
prevailing northerly and southerly currents along the coast also influence the
distribution of the planktonic organisms. In spite of these wide fluctuating
conditions we can distinguish characteristic populations within the bay region
which show regular annual cycles and colonization. Marked depletion in the
number of species was observed during the last 2-3 decades on account of
deterioration

of water quality of the bay,
which is known to receive effluents from the adjacent industries and city.
