Description The data on primary production from the Bay of
Bengal and the Andaman Sea are very meagre. The
Danish Galathea Expedition during her round-the-
world cruise, made some measurements across the
Indian Ocean through the equatorial current system
and in the Bay of Bengal, of which two stations were
from the Andaman Sea. It was observed that in the
eastern part of Bay of Bengal, the lower bound ry of the
photosynthetic layer was between 84-99 ra and the
stations located on the shelf were characterised by a
high rate of production. In the Galathea report
(Steemann Nielsen and Jensen, 1957), it was concluded
that the monsoon shift has some influence on the rate of
production in the Bay of Bengal and that extensive
investigations during the different seasons are necessary
in order to get a true picture of the production of organic
matter.
