Abstract

Considerable work, both qualitative and quantitative, has been done on
the plankton of Indian coastal waters in recent years. But the plankton
of Indian backwaters has received little attention so far. Sewell (1913,
1924 and 1934) has studied plankton, more especially the copepods, of the
Chilka Lake and the salt lakes of Calcutta. The brackish water fauna of
Adyar backwaters was studied by Panikkar and Aiyar (1937). Chacko
etal. (1953, 1954 o, 1954 A and 1954 c) have made brief references to planktonic
organisms also in their studies on the hydrobiology and fisheries of
various lakes and estuaries of Madras. A preUminary study of the plankton
of the Chilka Lake has been made recently by Devasundaram and Roy
(1954).
