Abstract
ABSTRACT Protoraphis hustedtiana R. Simonsen, 1970 is reported to be epibiontic on the calanoid copepod Pontella andersoni Sewell, 1912. Observed in the northern coastal waters of Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean during the winter monsoon, this diatom has been found attached to its basibiont host copepod P. andersoni. With this report, the araphid diatom P. hustedtiana extends its biogeographic distribution to the Bay of Bengal (BoB), from where it had not been recorded prior to this study.
期刊介绍:
Marine Biology Research (MBRJ) provides a worldwide forum for key information, ideas and discussion on all areas of marine biology and biological oceanography. Founded in 2005 as a merger of two Scandinavian journals, Sarsia and Ophelia, MBRJ is based today at the Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway. The Journal’s scope encompasses basic and applied research from all oceans and marine habitats and on all marine organisms, the main criterium for acceptance being quality.
