Title Observations on the breeding and seasonal abundance of ten species of planktonic copepods of the Gulf of Mannar
 
Creator Ummerkutty, A N P
 
Subject Copepods
 
Description The quantitative biology of the following ten species of planktonic copepods is included in the present
study: Pseudodiaptomus aurivilli, Calanopia thompsoni, Acartia erythraea, Paracalanus aculeatus, P. parvus,
Calanopia aurivilli, Acrocalanus gibber, A. monachus, Euterpina aciitifrons and Oithona rigida.
There have been three principal aims: (a) determination of the breeding seasons of different copepods;
(b) estimation of quantitative seasonal distribution and (c) determination, if possible, of the number of
broods in a year and the longevity of broods. The data obtained during the present studies on these subjects
are presented, and compared with earlier works and points of interest are discussed.
