Creator Mishra, Sujata

Description 219-221
Seasonal
variations in species composition and population density of Tintinnids
(Protozoa: Ciliata) in Bahuda estuary, a shallow tidal estuary situated on the
south Orissa coast, are described in this communication. A total of 23 species,

belonging to 12 genera, were
encountered. Consipicuous seasonal variation was noticed both in species
composition as well as population density of Tintinnids in this estuary. Tintinopsis
and Favella have emerged as the dominant genera represented by 12
and 2 species respectively. Population density ranged from 650-1,6500 organisms
m-3. Maximal and minimal density values were noticed in Feb. 1991 and
Sept. 1991 respectively. Annual cycle showed a unimodel oscillation. Salinity
was found as the key factor controlling the qualitative and quantitative
distribution of Tintinnids.
