Abstract

Nudibranchs are gastropod molluscs belonging to suborder Opisthobranchia. They are easily identified based on their shell-less bodies and a pair of rhinophores (tentacles) on the dorsal side of the head. These organisms are stunningly colourful, hence are often called 'butterflies of the ocean'. About 3000 species of Nudibranchs are known globally, and 311 species have been reported from India.

Abstract

Mudbanks, a unique coastal oceanographic phenomenon occurring along the southwest (SW) coast of India during the SW monsoon season, are synonymous with the fishery of this region. Here we examine the validity of the popular notion that mudbanks directly support rich fisheries, using a high temporal resolution water column data collected from the Alappuzha mudbank region in Kerala during April to September 2014, in conjunction with fisheries data. Our study reveals that the upwelling which occurs during the SW monsoon season along this coast brings oxygen-deficient subsurface water to the upper water column. Escaping the oxygen-depleted waters, the fish aggregate within a thin upper layer allowing easy visual identification and capture of fish shoals. This process occurs throughout the coast and is not confined just to the mudbanks. Mudbank being a calm region, traditional fishermen using non-motorized country craft were able to carry out fishing within this region only during the SW monsoon. With the induction of motorized and mechanized fishing, the link between mudbanks and fisheries is becoming less prominent, although the former still continue to be important fish landing centres.

Abstract

The seagrass meadows of Sethukarai coast are unique in nature, housing high faunal diversity compared to other coastal areas. A rare live specimen of bandtail scorpionfish Scorpaenopsis neglecta was found near a burrow dug by an alpheid shrimp. Taxonomy, mor-phometric and meristic characters, adaptive, beha-vioural and colour-switching physiological camouflage trait of the S. neglecta are elaborated in this commu-nication. Visual in situ documentation of feeding ha-bits of scorpaenids and their preying behaviour, especially that of lionfish Pterois volitans preying on goby fish is presented. Mutualism exhibited by goby fish Amblyeleotris gymnocephala with the alpheid shrimp Alpheus rapax and the importance of habitat protection from anthropogenic activities are also dis-cussed.
