Description Biological production potential off Veraval was evaluated based on the contribution of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos. The study was made along three transects covering four months during 1984-85. The mean phytoplankton count, zooplankton biomass and macrobenthic biomass were respectively 1.66 x 10 super(4)/litre, 74.76 ml/100 m super(3) and 65.71 g/m super(2). Phytoplankton maintained an almost steady population. The area was not very rich in zooplankton even though the composition indicated a diverse faunal assemblage. The subtidal macrofaunal population density indicated the high fertility of the region. The importance of similar collective investigations to characterise an area particularly for environmental monitoring studies has been emphasised
