IJMS 18(3) 151-154.Pdf Indian Journal of Marine Sciences Vol. 18, September 1989, pp. 151-154 Zooplankton composition of the Kalpeni and Agatti atolls, Lakshadweep archipelago C T Achuthankutty, S R Sreekumaran Nair, P Haridas* & M Madhupratap National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa 403 004, India Received 1 February 1989, revised 19 May 1989 Composition of zooplankton in the lagoons was quite different from that of the sea and to a large extent, was independent of oceanic influence. While copepods were dominant in the sea, meroplank• ton, particularly brachyuran zoeae constituted the largest group in the lagoons. Zooplankton stand• ing stock was lower in the lagoons as compared to the sea. Among copepods, calanoids showed higher abundance in the sea whereas harpacticoids and cyclopoids dominated the Kalpeni and Agatti lagoons respectively. Several striking similarities were observed in the zooplankton composition be• tween the coral and coastal lagoons. Ecology of zooplankton of the coral lagoons has . received considerable attention 1 - 6 mainly because II • A of its unique fauna and its role in the energy • transfer in coral ecosystem. Among the atoll la• • goons of the Lakshadweep archipelago, zooplank• ton composition of the Kavaratti lagoon has been fairly well studied 7 - ll. Other lagoons like Kalpeni and Agatti however, have received very little at• tention. Zooplankton composition in and ar:ound N these atolls was studied and is compared with si• milar studies from other areas. N. 50 t 10·1 Scale I' 300 000 Materials and Methods 72- E 6' 10' During the 153rd cruise of R V Gaveshani (20 •B ;,. April - 4 May 1985), studies were undertaken in and around some atolls of the Lakshadweep ar• • chipelago in order to understand the biological productivity. Zooplankton samples were collected • from 6 stations each outside the Kalpeni and Agatti atolls, 4 stations in Kalpeni lagoon and 3 stations in Agatti lagoon (Fig.1). All samples were collected by making surface tows using a HT net (mouth area 0.25 m2, mesh width 0.3 rom) equipped with a calibrated flowmeter. As var• iations in zooplankton composition and abun• dance between the stations were not found to be significant (P> 0.05) within each study area, aver• age value for each area is presented. 7 "!('30' E 3"' 40' *Regional Centre of National Institute of Oceanography, Fig. I-Station poslt1ons inside and outside the Agatti (A) Cochin 682 018, India and Kalpeni (B) atolls 151 INDIAN J MAR SCI, VOL. 18, SEPTEMBER 1989 Results capod crustaceans dominated in the lagoons Zooplankton biomass and composition- A (96.3% at Kalpeni and 91.4% at Agatti).
