Abstract
Primary productivity of coral reefs, in Manauli Island (Gulf of Mannar). Minicoy (Laccadive Sea) and Andaman Islands (Bay of Bengal) was estimated by the diurnal changes of oxygen in the sea water flowing over the reefs. There was a strong unidirectional flow due to trade winds in the first region whereas in the other two regions there was only tidal flow. However, there was measurable variation in all the places between the. upstream and downstream measurements of oxygen values and these variations have been graphically integrated in order to obtain the primary productivity.
