Creator Pillai, C S G
 
Subject Coral Reefs
 
Description Hardly anything has been published on the corals and coral reefs of
the Laccadive Archipelago since the pioneer work of Gardiner (1900, 1903,
1904, 1905). It was only proper, therefore, that the recent symposium
on corals and coral reefs, organised by the Marine Biological Association
of India, at Mandapam Camp, review the situation and adopt a resolution
emphasising the need for further work on the reef systems of t his area
as well as on the other little - investigated reefs of the Indian Ocean.
The present communication results from the author's observations of the
shallow water scleractinians of Minicoy (= Minikoi) Atoll during March-
April 1968. A f a i r l y representative collection of reef corals was
also assembled. A detailed systematic account of the species collected
from the Laccadive Archipelago will be published elsewhere.
