Description:
This study was conducted to determine distribution, abundance and biomass of Ampelisca sp. in
the Iranian continental shelf of the Oman Sea from Jask to Gwadar (approximately 350 km
stretch). Sampling was carried out in 10, 50,100 and 200m depth along five transects of
approximately equal distances from each other. Sampling was done with Van Veen grab (0.1 m2
)
in three replicates; temperature, salinity, and Dissolve oxygen were recorded by CTD, sediment
sample was collected for analysis of physical parameters for sediment at each station. The PCA
and correlation of Ampelisca sp. abundance and biomass with all the environmental parameters
were determined. The maximum abundance and biomass of Ampelisca sp. was recorded at 10m
depth, which decreased as depth increased. It was observed significant correlation among
abundance and biomass with dissolved oxygen, sand percentage and temperature.
