Description 239-242
Of the 11 taxonomic groups represented, Nematoda followed by foraminifera and harpacticoida were dominant. Meiofaunal abundance was more related to the texture of the sediment than variation in depth. Population density varied from nil to 534.65 x 103 m-2 (median = 31.45 x 103). Distribution was contagious with varied fauna in the nearshore region. On the basis of metabolic index, the food requirement of the benthic community (macro+meio) in the Bay of Bengal was found to be lower than that of the Arabian Sea and the Andaman Sea.
