ABSTRACT
Zooplankton fauna, their diversity, distribution and abundance in relation to hydrographical data pertaining to the two sea waters namely, Kovalam and Manakudy coasts of Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu were studied during a period of 2 years. Maximum values and minimum values were recorded at Kovalam coast during January and April. Copepods, Chaetognaths, Decapod larvae, fish eggs larvae, bivalve larvae and gastropod larvae were abundant throughout the period in Kovalam sea waters. Maximum zooplankton biomass recorded during September and minimum in June in Kovalam coast. During the present investigation, 35 species of copepods have been recorded from Kovalam sea and Manakudy sea from June 2020 to March 2022. The present work forms a supplement to the available information regarding the copepod fauna of the southern Tamil Nadu.
