Title Patterns of distribution of Arabian Sea hydromedusae
 
Creator Vannucci, M
 
Description A comparison between the surface and subsurface waters of the Arabian Sea and
those of Bay of Bengal from the hydromedusan fauna point of view shows the following
similarities and differences; In both the seas there is a marked difference between surface
and subsurface waters as compared to intermediate and deep waters. In both the seas
the surface and subsurface waters are under the monsoonal regime with biannual fluctuations
of the amount of incoming solar radiation, rate of evaporation, pattern of circulation,
convection currents and upwelling. Both seas are very deep. In the Arabian sea,
evaporation is greater than what the total influx of fresh water could compensate.
In the Bay of Bengal, the influx of fresh water is greater than the evaporation due to the
enormous amount of fresh water contributed by the Ganga-Brahmaputra system and
by the Irrawaddi.
