Title study of the copepods of the inshore
waters of Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar
 
Creator Kartha, K N Krishna
 
Subject Copepods
 
Description It has been reported by Prasad (1956) that the general trends in the fluctuations
of the total copepods, including copepodites, in the Gulf of Mannar
and Palk Bay were different. According to him the fluctuations were apparently
dicyclic at station G in the Gulf of Mannar, with one peak during
December-March and another during September or October, as against
the fluctuations at station P in Palk Bay, starting from a very low level and
almost continuously increasing until it reached a maximum in September
or October and then declining. In order to study the causes which bring
about these differences in the population of copepods at the two stations
it was suggested that a detailed analysis of the composition of population
and the behaviour of the dominant species be taken up.
