Abstract
Biomass, proximate composition, organic carbon and calorie content of assorted zooplankton from the surface waters were studied. Day and nig ht stations revealed significant difference in biomass (displacement v olume, dry wt and organic carbon) whereas at coastal and oceanic stati ons irrespective of day and night the difference was significant only in dry wt values. Protein and organic carbon content peaked at 14-degr ees-16-degrees-N. Average calorific content was 4.05 kcal.g-1 dry wt. High lipid content at 12-degrees-14-degrees-N correlated with maximum chl-a.
