Description To understand the seasonal distribution and abundance of marine cyclopoid copepods of the mud bank
at Purakkad - Thottappally region, Allcppey, regular plankton samples were collected from four fixed
stations commencing from June, 1971 to June, 1972. Apart from this, 9 samples collected by R. V. VARUNA
in the mud bank region was also studied for spatial distribution. A total of 32 species of cyclopoid copepods
belonging to 5 genera and 4 families were encountered in the samples. Two peaks were observed for adults
as well as copepodites during the period of investigation and this coincides with the rise in temperature
and salinity.
