Description 176-179
Organic matter has been determined from 24 surficial sediment samples (from 20 to 500 m depth) collected in the offshore area between Port Cornwallis and Port Blair off Andaman Islands. Wide variation is seen in the organic matter content (0.35 to 3.58%), and the nearshore sediments are characterised by a low content of organic matter (0.35 to 1.88%) than the deeper slope sediments (2.64 to 3.58%). Areal variation of organic matter has been discussed in relation to organic and inorganic materials, prevailing hydrographical conditions, texture of sediments and other factors.
