Description 383-389
Detailed study on the abundance, distribution and species composition of
microzooplankton from the Gulf of Mannar regions were carried out from March
2006 to May 2008. Seasonal variations of different parameters were
investigated. A total of 72 species belonging to 41 genera were encounted.
Conspicuous seasonal variation was noticed both in species composition as well as
population density of microzooplankton in the Gulf of Mannar regions. Protozoan
ciliates and microcrustaceans have emerged as the dominant groups in the
microzooplankton part. Population density ranged from 1400-23200 m-3.
Salinity, temperature and DO were found as the key factors controlling the
qualitative and quantitative distribution of microzooplankton. The ANOVA and
Correlation co-efficient were calculated for the interpretation of the results.
