Abstract

The density and temporal distribution of postlarvae and juveniles of Metapenaeus monoceros in the waters of Sundarbans were assessed for two years, along with environmental factors.
M. monoceros represented significant (P<0.05) monthly variation in abundance. Abundance of M. monoceros in the sundarban river systems was largely confined to the post-monsoon season.
The relationship between the water parameters and population structure of M. monoceros has also been discussed.
