Abstract
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%).
