emerged as the most dominant order among the copepods being comprised of 68
species. It was followed by poicilostomatoids with 26 species, cyclopoids with
10 species and harpacticoida with 8 species. Paracalanus aculeatus emerged
as the most dominant species during pre-monsoon season while, Acrocalanus longicornis was dominant in monsoon and A. gibber in
the post-monsoon season. Other dominant copepods were Oithona sp., Miracia efferata,
Acartia southwelli, Centropages tenuiremis, Paracalanus parvus, Acrocalanus gracilis and Acartia
