| Abstract |
Monhysterids were found to be the second most dominant order among the free-living marine nematodes which were collected from the continental shelf region of southeast coast of India during FORV “Sagar Sampada” Cruise no. 260 consisting 63 out of 192 species. Among these nine species such as Thalassomonhystera venusta, Cobbia trefusiaeformis, Theristus ensifer, T. longus, Sphaerolaimus balticus, S. gracilis, Astomonema southwardorum, Siphonolaimus cobbi and Araeolaimus elegans were found to be new distributional records for the Indian waters. |
