“…Factors influencing ostracod distribution at different scales are governed by temporal and physicochemical stabilities of the ecosystems where ostracods are living and can be estimated by scaling the alpha and beta diversity of the assemblages (Smith & Horne, 2002). Several studies have been conducted on ostracod fauna from the Indian subcontinent (Baskar et al, 2015;Hussain, 1998;Hussain et al, 2006Hussain et al, , 2007Nazeer et al, 2018;Nishath et al, 2015Nishath et al, , 2017Radhakrishnan et al, 2022;Rajkumar et al, 2020;Sridhar et al, 2002Sridhar et al, , 2019. The study about ostracods is very scarce in the fragile islands of the Gulf of Mannar.…”

The present work reports the distribution of Ostracoda from the surface sediments around Appa Island in the Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, southeast coast of India. In total, 33 surface sediment and bottom-water samples were collected for this study. In the study area, 34 Ostracoda species belonging to 30 genera, 17 families, 4 superfamilies, 3 suborders, 2 orders and 2 subclasses have been identified. Distribution of species as abundant, common and rare, for every station is being recorded. Among the identified 33 ostracod species, 5 are abundant, 4 are common and the remaining 24 are rare. The total population is higher in the southern part of the island, whereas the northern part of the island has a lower population comparatively. The Ostracoda are indicative of high energy, oxygenated environments in the study area, not conducive for juvenile forms. The ratio of carapaces to open valves of Ostracoda indicates a relatively moderate rate of sedimentation.

The genus Actinocythereis commonly occurs in the lower Miocene sediments of Kachchh, Saurashtra and Kerala basins. Among these basins, the genus thrives well in Kachchh basin, where it is represented by five species, including two new subspecies: Actinocythereis gujaratensis (Tewari and Tandon) karanpurensis n. subsp. and Actinocythereis vinjhanensis (Tewari and Tandon) lakhpatensis n. subsp., reported in this study. A. gujaratensis Tewari and Tandon, A. tumefaciens (Lyubimova and Guha) and A. vinjhanensis (Tewari and Tandon) have been previously described. The systematics along with paleoecological data of the genus presented.
