“…Temora turbinata is an important copepod group, which acts as indicator species of coastal upwelling. Jagadeesan et al (2013) reported Temora turbinata in Gulf of Mannar (northern part) during the southwest monsoon only, but in the present study, this species was recorded during southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon as well.…”

“…was not observed at station 3, in the second year of the study. Jacob et al (1981) From the results of PCA analyses, it was found that Temora turbinata is an opportunistic species, and also evidenced by Jagadeesan et al (2013) in to northern Gulf of Mannar. Temora turbinata species showed positive loading during post monsoon only and this species did not show any significant loadings in other seasons.…”

“…Temora turbinata species showed positive loading during post monsoon only and this species did not show any significant loadings in other seasons. Further, Temora turbinata is capable of exploiting upwelling induced high phytoplankton stock prevailing along the west coast of India during the southwest monsoon (Madhupratap and Haridas, 1990;Jagadeesan et al, 2013).…”

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to emphasize variation and bring out strong patterns in a dataset. It is often used to make data easy to explore and visualize. The primary objective of the present study was to record information of zooplankton diversity in a systematic way and to study the variability and relationships among seasons prevailed in Gulf of Mannar. The PCA for the zooplankton seasonal diversity was investigated using the four seasonal datasets to understand the statistical significance among the four seasons. Two different principal components (PC) were segregated in all the seasons homogeneously. PCA analyses revealed that Temora turbinata is an opportunistic species and zooplankton diversity was significantly different from season to season and principally, the zooplankton abundance and its dynamics in Gulf of Mannar is structured by seasonal current patterns. The factor loadings of zooplankton for different seasons in Tiruchendur coastal water (GOM) is different compared with the Southwest coast of India; particularly, routine and opportunistic species were found within the positive and negative factors. The copepods Acrocalanus gracilis and Acartia erythrea were dominant in summer and Southwest monsoon due to the rainfall and freshwater discharge during the summer season; however, these species were replaced by Temora turbinata during Northeast monsoon season.

“…The present result was more similar to the reports of earlier workers mainly on the species distribution and abundance of copepods. Jagadeesan (2013) (Marichamy, 1979). Achunathankutty et al, (1998), revealed that Paracalanus, Acrocalanus, Oithona, Pseudodiaptomus, Acartia and Corycaeus were the common genus of copepods in Goa coast.…”

“…From the earlier studies and reports about 540 numbers of copepod species were documented in Indian waters (Venkataraman, 2012). Few studies have been described on zooplankton and copepod community in Gulf of Mannar region (Jagadeesan et al, 2013;Sewell, 1914;Prasad, 1954;Ummerkutty, 1961Ummerkutty, , 1965Ummerkutty, , 1967Prabu et al, 2015;Sugumaran, 2016). Detailed study on the abundance, diversity, distribution and biomass of offshore copepods of Gulf of Mannar is scarce.…”
