Description A review of the earlier works on zooplankton of
Andaman and Nicobar waters indicates paucity of
information. Tsuruta (1963) discussed the representa
tive composition and the distribution of plankton of
the fish grounds for tuna in the Bay of Bengal based on
samples collected in the deeper waters off these islands.
Chiba (1956) and Jones (1966) have given accounts on
systematic studies of copepods, Pillai (1970) and Roy
(1977) described the occurrence of new species of
calanoid copepods in the coastal waters of Andaman
Sea. Rangarajan and Marichamy (1972) made a
brief mention on the seasonal fluctuations in the biomass
of plankton. Recently, Paulinose and George (1976)
have recorded the occurrence of larvae of penaeid
prawns in large numbers in the waters around Andaman
and Nicobar Islands. No published account is available
on the seasonal distribution of zooplankton from the
coastal regions of these islands. The present accoimt
is an effort .to provide preliminary information on
zooplankton and a general treatment of the distribution
of planktonic larvae along the coast.
