| Abstract: | Preference and tolerance capacities of a littoral oligochaete, Enchytraeus barkudensis from the southern lighter channel, Visakhapatnam Harbour, Andhra Pradesh, India were studied over a wide salinity ranges (fresh water 30%) in vitro. It showed more than 60% survival in all salinities even after 2 weeks except in fresh water. It always preferred higher salinities in all combinations except 25-30% combination. Both survival and preference values obtained can be attributed to the distribution of the worm above mid water mark at the Harbour. |
