| Abstract: | Distribution of zooplankton above and below the thermocline layer was studied in Feb. 1979 from the Andaman Sea. Zooplankton biomass and groups like Chaetognatha, Appendicularia, Decapoda. Thaliacea and Euphausiacea showed, higher aggregation above the thermocline layer. While many of the species showed the same trend. Ostracoda and many of the less common species were usually in greater abundance below the thermocline. Thermocline acted as a barrier in vertical movements in some species. Vertical migration of zooplankton in relation to discontinuity layer is discussed. |
