Free-living marine nematodes were found to be higher abundant taxan in the benthic realm. Among these marine nematode community Monhystrids were the second dominant order collected from the southeast continental shelf region of India during FORV “Sagar Sampada” Cruise no. 260 consisting 64 out of 192 species. Among these, following 09 species namely Linhomoeus hirsutus, Metalinhomoeus filiformis, Paralinhomoeus conicaudatus, P. uniovarium, Axonolaimus paraspinosus, Odontophora exharena O. longisetosa O. rectangula and O. setosa coming under family Linhomidae and Axonolaimidae are found to be new distributional records for the Indian waters.
