| Abstract |
Free-living marine nematodes were found to be higher abundant taxan in the benthic realm. Among these marine nematode community Chromadorids were the most dominant order collected from the southeast continental shelf region of India during FORV “Sagar Sampada” Cruise no. 260 consisting 91 out of 192 species. Among these, following six species namely Calomicrolaimus honesutus, Microlaimus conothelis, Microlaimus robustidens, Leptolaimus ampullaceus, Laptolaimus elegans and Laptolaimus papilliger coming under family Microlaimidae and Laptolaimidae are found to be new distributional records for the Indian waters. |
