Sediment-ostracode relationship in the Bimili backwater and the Balacheruvu tidal stream

Abstract: Based on the collections of benthic ostracodes during January-December 1977 from two selected marginal water bodies, namely Bimili backwater and Balacheruvu tidal stream on the east coast of India, the quantitative variations in the ostracode fauna have been studied in relation to the sedimentological characteristics like sand, silt and clay and organic matter content.

“…In the Bimili backwaters and Balacheruvu tidal stream, Annapurna and Rama Sarma (1982) have noted that the genus Phlyctenophora occurs in forms such as Tanella, Loxoconcha, Pajenborchellina and Kalingella occur in considerable numbers in the sandy areas. Al-Abdul Razzaq et al (1983) stated that ostracoda occur more in fine-grained sediments due to the greater quantities of organic material in those fractions which provide nutritive material.…”

“…Although there are research papers on taxonomy, systematic studies on internal character such as the normal pore system, muscle scar pattern and ocular sinuses of these micro crustaceans, papers pertaining to surface ornamentation of Ostracoda are relatively rare (Jones, 1956;Benson, 1961;Hulings and Puri, 1964;Puri, 1966;Krutak, 1972;Brasier, 1980;Annapurna and Rama Sarma, 1982;Vaidya et al, 1995;Sridhar et al, 1998 andHussain et al, 2002). Hence, an attempt has been made to study briefly on the relationship between the sculpture in Ostracoda and grain size of the substrate based on direct observations by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).…”

“…Consequently, diverse sedimentary facies support distinct ostracod assemblages. According to Annapurna and Rama Sarma (1982), ostracods prefer areas high in sand and clay rather than areas rich in silt, as in the Bimili backwaters and Balacheruvu tidal stream. Similar relationship has also been observed in marine marginal water bodies of other localities (Elofson, 1941;Benson, 1959).…”
