190-191
A new patch coral area has been recorded first time during a recent survey by Suganthi Devadason Marine Research Insti-tute (SDMRI) Reef Research Team (RRT) in the northern region of Palk Bay near Thamodharanpattinam fishing village which is about 70 km away from Pamban. Among the four species recorded in the patch coral area, Turbinaria patula is a new record for the Palk Bay and has been listed as vulnerable in IUCN red list. The current findings provide an insight in to more new coral patches and probably new species in Palk Bay which are to be explored yet. |
