Description 67-69
The occurrence and abundance of benthic fauna in the marine zone of Coleroon estuary (st 1) and inshore waters (st 2) have been studied for a year. The maximum density of fauna were recorded at st 1 and st 2 during premonsoon and summer respectively. In both stations polychaetes were the dominant taxa and followed by crustacea. In st 2, the population density was lower (1325.m-2) than st 1 (2788.m-2). The nature of the bottom sediment and organic carbon in st 1 were favourable for higher density of fauna.
