tailieunhanh - Diversity of zooplankton in seagrass ecosystem of Mandapam coast in gulf of Mannar

The present investigation was carried out to assess the distribution of zooplankton in seagrass ecosystem in comparison with that of the coastal waters without seagrasses in Gulf of Mannar. Water and plankton samples were collected from the seagrass ecosystem (Station 1) and the control station without seagrasses (station 2) from September 2016 to May 2017. The physico chemical parameters were analysed and the mean values of surface water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, gross primary productivity and chlorophyll-a were ⁰ C, ppt, , , , µM, µM, µM, .h-1 and respectively. Totally, 59 species of zooplankton were recorded from each of the two stations with the maximum density of 667400 and 935300 in station 1 and 2 respectively. The higher density of zooplankton was observed during the summer months. The species richness and diversity indices showed the maximum values of and respectively in seagrass ecosystem which indicates that the diversity of plankton is more in seagrass ecosystem as that of the coastal waters without seagrasses. | Diversity of zooplankton in seagrass ecosystem of Mandapam coast in gulf of Mannar
