An Extensive Study on Physico-Chemical Parameters of Bay of Bengal and Central Indian Ocean Basin

Abstract

The analyses of selected Physico-chemical parameters, such as sea surface temperature, sea atmospheric temperature, barometric pressure, pH, relative humidity, sea surface salinity, water salinity, precipitation, wind speed, dissolved oxygen, was conducted at 101 stations situated between 81o30'04"E and 13o10'59"N to 79 o27'53"E and 5o57'07"N, located in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) and Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). The results obtained indicate that both BOB and CIOB are congenial for growth, sustenance, development and distribution of biota.
