| Abstract: | During the 40th cruise of R V Gaveshani, a large swarm pelagic tunicates associated with a bloom of diatoms and blue green algae was observed off Nagapattinam. The doliolid Dolioletta gegenbauri, Uljanin, the salp Thalia democratica Forskal and the appendicularian Oikopleura rufescens Fol were the main species. The phytoplankton consisted mainly of Chaetoceros spp. C. lorenzianus, Nitzschia seriata, Rhizosolenia spp. R. styliformis, Navicula spp. Thalassiothrix spp and Trichodesmium erythraeum. |
