Sc. Goswami et al., Diel variations in zooplankton and their biochemical composition from Vengurla to Ratnagiri, west coast of India, I J MAR SCI, 29(3), 2000, pp. 277-280
Diel variations in zooplankton biomass, common groups and proximate composi
tion zooplankton at stations between Vengurla to Ratnagiri, along west coas
t of India were studied. Higher biomass values were obtained for the night
samples (av = 80 ml/100 m(3)) as compared to the day collections (av = 65 m
l/100 m(3)). Copepods contributed maximum at all stations (58.4 to 73.9%).
