Description 1781-1791
Zooplankton abundance and composition were
studied by selecting offshore transects of seven estuaries viz. Pennar, Krishna, Godavari, Gosthani, Rushikulya, Devi and
Mahanadi along east coast of India during April, 2011. During the study period,
sea surface temperature (SST) varied from 27.9°C to 28.3°C with an average of
28.1°C. Salinity varied from 33.0 to 35.0 PSU with an average of 34.5 PSU.  Different zooplankton groups belonging to 13
phyla were recorded from seven transects. Copepods dominated the community with
50.5 to 96.8%. Calanoids, namely Paracalanus
parvus, P. aculeatus, Temora turbinata were common in all the transects
studied. The
