Abstract

Two research cruises were conducted on R/V ''Samuddrika'' to collect zooplankton samples off the southwest coast of Sri Lanka during April 2014. The sampling was carried out with a WP-2 plankton net of 180-µm mesh size and a mouth area of 0.25m2.. Sampling stations were grouped into four areas (A, B, C, D) spatially according to the depth and location. The areas A and B cover the coastal area (defined here as coastal waters inshore of the 100-m isobath) while areas C and ...
